Amazing atmosphere and right on the beach, the food is pretty decent, I wish the portions were a little bigger. The staff is super kind as well. Perfect for a walk on the beach finished with a nice meal at Shoreline!

The name says it all...Shoreline Beach Cafe sits right on the shore. They even offer tables on the sand. The deck gives a wonderful view of the Channel Islands and the blue water. Service is quick and friendly. The food delicious and reasonably priced. They have a full bar, too!

Our go-to beach restaurant over many years. Their fish tacos are always good.Their take out window is always busy, but we manage to get a table on the patio rarely with a wait. The tables located on the sand have an even better view but usually have a wait, and aggressive birds, so don't leave your table unattended! The patio is glassed in, so a better choice on a windy day.. My mahi mahi special was fresh and perfectly grilled this visit on a perfrct sunny day with island views.

This place never disappoints! Their salmon salad is the best! Fish tacos are perfect for some yummy grub when you are hungry after hanging out at the beach. Yes on the weekends you generally have to wait for a table but if you come when it's not so busy, it's much easier to get a table faster. The view is perfect as you are right on the beach toes in the sand if you're lucky! This is definitely a spot to check out whether you're a local or a tourist.

The ceviche was delicious. The service was good, and the weather was really nice this day. The ambiance was fresh and breezy, with a beautiful view of the ocean.

I absolutely loved eating here! It's got a great casual atmosphere and you can order drinks, soda or snacks at the window while you wait for your table. There is parking in the paid parking lot and also in front of the restaurant for 90 minutes without fees. We got a table on the sand with a few rocks, separating us from the rest of the beach and got to eat with our toes in the sand truly a great experience. They have small but good menu and the food we ordered was delicious. We had fried calamari starter and then shared the regular fish tacos. They will tell you at the front the dogs are not allowed, but if you insist you can take your dog to the back area as long as they stay on a leash and in the sand by the rocks
