Looking for a great restaurant right on the beach? The Beachcomber it is! Amazing food at all times of day, indoor and outdoor seating, excellent cocktails! Park across PCH and make sure to get your ticket validated so that you don’t have to pay the full price :)

Grab some of their poke (I recommend half salmon half tuna) and mosey on over to the beach just a few blocks away to enjoy your fresh fish as you watch the sun set.

Rent a kayak or stand up paddle and explore the Back Bay (for the quiet nature lovers) or the marina (you can even paddle up to bars and restaurants and “dock” there for a drink or meal!).
