Take A Trip Down South

good food, great people

As the name suggests, 38 South takes you to the place you’d rather be — a beachside café in Seaford with friendly people, artisan food, local craft brews and regional wines and the freshest catch of the day straight off the pier. Clear your head. Get away from the bustle of the city.
It’s always worth the trip down south.
