The Beachcomber Cafe

One of the best grilled artichokes I've had. Excellent calamari . This place is a gem right on the beach .

The Cuban sandwich is mind blowing... And the view doesn't suck either. If you want something lighter the crab cake salad app is really tasty but definitely big enough for lunch .

Make sure you have reservations or you will be waiting a long time. Breakfast menu ends at around 11:15. After that, it is lunch , even if you were waiting before 11. Prepare accordingly!

Since it's located in a prime spot in Crystal Cove State Park , the views are spectacular, unmatched by just about any other restaurant on land or even on cruise ships. Read more

For breakfast , the beignets are a must! Order it first to satisfy ur sweet and coffee cravings then go for some eggs . (I ordered French toast and after the beignets wished I had eggs instead)

Shrimp tacos were delicious and the vegan burger was pretty tasty! Definitely worth eating here and while getting your parking ticket validated. ☺️

What a View ! Eat like a King on the beach ! Nothing else like it! Everything is fantastic on the menu 👍🏼

It’s not a rumor...the beignets are truly amazing. The shrimp and lobster enchiladas are wonderful as well . Will definitely be returning to get through more of the menu!!!

The views at The Beachcomber are absolutely breathtaking! After a savory sunset dinner and a nice cocktail at hand, take advantage of this beautiful location with a romantic walk on the beach .

Best bugnes for French people and Belgian ! They call it beignets . Not to be missed !

Great food for the beach ! Get here early, grab a pager and enjoy the view until your table is ready!

great location great food

You can now make a reservation through Open Table. And it is strongly recommended. Can be up to a 45 min + wait. Worth it but if you have littles the ressie is golden.

Love love love their beignet !

Perfect spot for breakfast , the view is spectacular, highly recommend, you have to take a shuttle to reach beach comber cafe :-)

Longest wait ever. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. If all else fails, the beignets are served at the bar area and you just order at the counter. Ended up doing that and just leaving.

Get here early, put your name in, then park your toes in the sand and wait for a table! Also, the bar is a great place to wait for a dinner table!

The views from The Beachcomber are ones you would typically see on a postcard. Enjoy a meal amongst OC housewives and suga' daddies. Voted Best Outdoor Dining by OC Weekly's Best of 2011 readers.

You can park in Crystal Cove State Park , then walk to this restaurant on the beach . Great for showing visitors around!

Great place for sunsets and cocktails ! Have some oysters , and take a walk along the beach just before the sun sets.

what a nice spot：the view , the historic town , the food and the bar of course!

Beignet dessert was incredible. Also good was the short rib . Pricey but worth every cent.

Ahi tuna pretty good, wedge salad great, kids loved hamburgers , lobster linguini ok, soups ok

Great fish and chips . Average fish tacos . Enjoy the views .

They have blankets for those chilly lunches , amazing views and lively beach fun.

Get here early, put your name in and then relax on the beach until your table is ready! 1-2 hour wait is the norm!

Amazing food and great view . Top tip is to arrive around 8pm for a guaranteed table without having to wait!

Beignets are very good! Light, crispy , just the right amount of sweet.

Coolest little historic lunch spot on the coast. Ahi Tuna burger with lettuce instead of buns = winner.

The beignets are awesome!

Short ribs were phenomenal! I highly recommend the Brussel Sprouts too.

The "Tiny" Tuna Tacos are the best thing on the menu! Drink the Bootlegger-YUM! Even if you hate banana flavor , it's awesome.

Ahi Tuna had mixed reviews within our group, but overall was good.

Great lobster rolls and Kobe burgers , come early on a weekday to avoid long waits

Great place for breakfast and right on the beach

The Beach Comber was featured in the Bette Midler movie , “Beaches .” It’s great for food and cocktails to eat right on the sand! -Lynne Curtin, Real Housewives of Orange County

Amazing view . Delicious Manhattan. Slightly expensive .

Great views awesome food and friendly staff .

Make sure you have ALL your party with you. They will not sear an incomplete party even if they are parking across the street. And the hostess have attitudes. The sun hot to their brains

Pricey but good. Make sure you have reservations

Awesome food, awesome view . Get the Maine Lobster Roll Sandwich Roll.

Awesome, amazing SoCal experience. Be sure and get your parking validation!

Come early. Bring a beach chair. Grab a pager. Enjoy the view ! In that order.

The food is on point!

Beautiful ocean view as the restaurant sits on the sand. Feels like Hawaii - must have a MaiTai for full effect!

Make a reservation on Open Table, it will save you time!

Wedge salad great!

Amazing scenery for this bar .

If coming in afternoon... Come already with something in ur stomach... Prepare for long long wait .. But worth it

Salmon can't be beat!
