The Beachcomber

Love this place! There is parking across the highway and you can either take the shuttle or take the path under the highway to the beach. We always take the path as the walk is nice so I'm not sure about the shuttle. Be sure to bring your parking ticket to get it validated. Purchase of $15+ at the Beachcomber means you get 3 hours parking free. It gets busy so go early or late but there will probably be a little wait. Not to worry though you can walk along Crystal Cove beach while you wait with your buzzer.

A literal hidden jewel. I had to park across the PCH and hike down to the restaurant. Situated on the sands of Crystal Cove Beach. Eclectic little beach that’s worth the effort. Restaurant had the typical offerings of burgers, salads, etc. All of which were tasty and made with care. Beautiful view of Catalina topped off a fun lunch experience.

Great location and excellent food! We did have to wait about an hour but you can grab a drink at the bar in the back while waiting, or wander along the beach to nearby tide pools (we did both). The view is amazing and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. Would recommend trying this place out and giving yourself time to walk along the beach and enjoy the environment around the restaurant!

I was with a large group of 20 plus people and they were very accommodating! The food was great and the drinks even better! The weather was beautiful and the beach was nice. It was a little cold but it didn't stop us from having fun

This place is awesome! Had an amazing lunch here, right on the beach. All four of our meals were wonderful. Great drink & beer selection. Service was on point. Since you can't park right there, be prepared with some extra time to take the shuttle down. It does get you quickly down there though. You will have to walk about 100 yards to get to the restaurant. Highly recommended!
