Editorial Review for Paradise Cove Beach Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This secluded spot is the quintessential beach bar and restaurant. Sarong-wearing locals drink Coronas from icy buckets two feet from the water, while barefoot diners snag seats in the sand after ordering food and drinks. Large groups and families wait for tables overlooking the Pacific at the full-service restaurant inside. Sesame-encrusted ahi tuna steak sandwich is a lunch favorite, while seafood dinners include iced platters filled with poached shrimp, shucked oysters and king crab legs.

Insider Tips
When to GoIn keeping with the venue's long history as a set for TV shows like "Gidget" and films such as "Beach Blanket Bingo," movies are still occasionally shot at the private, secluded location.
ParkingParking is $3 for four hours with validation, but you need to spend at least $20 on food and/or drinks. Otherwise, the parking fee alone is $20.
Where to SitThe beach bar--which is really just chairs in the sand--is one of the most popular spots on the coast.

great spot to take the family on a weekend afternoon and enjoy a nice meal and then head out to the beach.

My favourite restaurant in L.A. - a Malibu classic! This is a restaurant on the beach - literally. It has its own private beach area, and you can choose to dine on ourside tables in the sand. The meals are HUGE - you'll never leave hungry! Ordered the salad bar on the last visit, and it had an excellent selection, including seafood that looked and tasted very fresh. We took a good friend for his birthday last time, and not only did the waiter gather the entire restaurant in a rendition of "Happy Birthday" but they gave him the biggest slice of an 8-inch high chocolate cake for free, which fed 4 of us for dessert, PLUS we took some home! I have no complaint about this place, and have been about a dozen times, plus sent friends visiting from overseas here, and they really enjoyed it. Go for your next function - you won't be disappointed!
Pros: Huge meals, of excellent quality; great service; cannot beat the location and beach dining!
Cons: You will definitely have to wait if you don't book a table, and the wait times can be up to an hour on weekends.
