Rest Bay Café Bar

Client: Rest Bay Café Bar
Disciplines: Web, Design, Print
My role: Branding, print, signage and website

Brand, print and website for a café bar on the beach at Rest Bay: from beermats and kiosk boards to a website with a surf report built in.

Rest Bay Café Bar is three businesses on one beach: the café bar with balcony views over the break, a beach kiosk for takeaway coffee, ice creams and cold drinks, and the Surf Shack, a seasonal burger van. I've looked after its brand and print since 2019, and built its website.

The script roundel goes on everything: beermats, feather flags, the kiosk's head board and menu boards, A2 menus and the drinks list, A-frames, opening times, house rules and reserved signs, plus posters for live music Sundays, the summer season finale fireworks and the seasonal specials.

The website gives each of the three its own section and hours, shows whether the café is open right now, and lets visitors download the opening times as a calendar. Its surf report page shows wave height, wind, tide, weather and water temperature for Rest Bay with links to live surf cams, the page surfers have a reason to come back to, and every visit ends with the café.
