The breakfast, described as simple yet enjoyable, typically includes fresh local fruits, cereals, toast, and a variety of juices.

Given the limited local dining options, transportation is suggested for guests wishing to explore further culinary experiences beyond walking distance. Despite these limitations, Paradise Cove Lodge ensures a delightful experience within its available dining schedule, complemented by nearby external options for those off nights.
