Boathouse at Hendry's Beach

This is a great stop for a drink or bite to eat before or after hitting the water that's only yards away. The Sunday Brunch is also amazing—be sure to try the blood orange margaritas !

Sit at the bar and order the special Bloody Mary which comes with shrimp , bacon , pickled green bean , celery , and olive !

Try to sit by the glass wall on the patio - it’s the best view of the ocean, beach , and sunset . The food and drinks were great too, as was our server, Lucas.

The views are really nice if you can swing an outdoor table . Order the oysters , blood orange margarita , shrimp tacos . If you’re not feeling seafood , get the burger .

Any time I drive into town , it is usually late afternoon. This is my immediate first stop for a happy hour while staring at the ocean.

After enjoying the beach eat outside by the ocean and enjoy the daily Bellini . The fried calamari are a crisp and tasty snack .

The menu is perfectly California, the view is perfectly California, the vibe is perfectly friendly ! Wonderful way to enjoy a great meal!

Hands down best happy hour and view . While your waiting for a table for there is usually a wait, you can watch the sunset or take a quick stroll on the beach .

This place is a must - location is unbeatable, bartenders are the best, and sunset ...a must

Eggs Benedict on Dungeness Crab is a must have! Something lighter? Get the home made granola , fruit & fresh vanilla bean low fat yogurt . Great value for the $ & superb service.

Boathouse signature breakfast is sooo good! Love them crab cakes ! And pair that with their blood orange mimosa :0)

Take your date out here and then go for a walk on the beach . It'll be great.

Lovely location and food. Really long wait on the weekends.

After brunch , climb the rock stairs outside for a great view

Reasonably priced for Oceanside dining in SB. Clam chowder could've been better but the sirloin tip appetizer and crab spinach dip were great!

Awesome spot to grab drinks and dinner right on the beach in Santa Barbara. Great blood orange margaritas !

Best place for a beachside brunch in Santa Barbara. A little off the beaten path, so it tends to be less touristy .

Mahi mahi salad yuuuummmy! Fried calamari was OK . Adorable spot to walk the beach or watch the sun setting on the waves

Ask to sit next to outside glass look out deck. Best view in Santa Barbara.

What a view ! They like to throw cilantro into stuff, so beware if that's not your genetic jam .

Food is ok but the view is fantastic. The thing that is super annoying is the wait-time especially on weekends. I have no idea why they don’t take reservations as the system is so poorly run.

Ahi Poke and the Pan Seared Crab Cakes will not disappoint.

Great place on the beach with kids menu and great seafood

Location on beach is great. Nice for happy hour and appetizers

Amazing food, gorgeous views , great service!!

Pan seared scallops are excellent! Stay away from mussels — in any form!

Ahi sandwich , shrimp 🌮

The Signature Bloody Mary is like an appetizer and drink in one!

Call ahead and put your name on the wait list

ask for the shrimp tacos on the secret menu !

Not a bad view , and you can take a beachside stroll after brunch .

Try the Ahi Sliders . They are absolutely amazing.

Signature Bloody Mary

Make sure you call ahead. This restaurant is always full and the hostesses are extremely nasty.
