The Boathouse, Mediterranean restaurant in Sant Joan de Labritja, Spain.
The Boathouse is a restaurant sitting directly on the beach at Cala de Sant Vicent with views of the water and a wooden dining area where tables float over glass structures showing old fishing equipment. The interior is designed with genuine elements from local fishing boats that give the place a maritime character.
The place came about from the idea of preserving the long history of fishing in this coastal area and making it tangible for visitors. The owners integrated original objects from regional fishing boats into the architecture to keep this past alive every day.
The restaurant draws its identity strongly from regional cooking traditions, with owners integrating local fishing heritage and coastal life into their daily operations. You see small details everywhere that show a connection to the sea, from net decorations to old boat pieces that shape the space.
You reach the restaurant directly from the beach, so comfortable shoes matter since the paths go over sand and gravel. The best time to visit is in the morning or early evening when it is less crowded and the view is easier to enjoy.
Under the glass tables you can watch preserved ship remains and old fishing nets that are parts of original boats from the region. These hidden details are often overlooked even though they sit in plain view while you eat and tell the story of the place.
