The Moorings is a relaxed beach bar and restaurant on Braye Street in Ste Anne, Alderney, within the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Positioned close to Braye Bay, the venue has direct access to the beach and a setting suited to unhurried meals, drinks by the water and afternoons spent outdoors.

The food offering includes stone-baked pizzas, daily food service, weekend breakfasts, tea, coffee and sweet treats. The menu also supports takeaway food, while the bar offers drinks for consumption at the venue and an off-licence selection. The style is informal and family-friendly, making The Moorings suitable for casual meals rather than formal dining.

A large terrace provides outdoor seating beside the bay, with views across the water. It works well for a relaxed lunch, an afternoon drink or a meal that takes advantage of fine weather. The beach access adds to the connection with Braye Bay, while the indoor bar provides a comfortable alternative when conditions are less suitable for sitting outside.
