Escape to Culinary Excellence
For a truly unique dining experience, escape to the Café Beach Restaurant; a remote, romantic retreat so serene that the hypnotic sounds of the pounding surf can only be broken by the clink of toasting glasses and a feast of fresh seasonal dishes are served. Enter the Dining Room, where windows frame a living landscape of unspoiled beaches and some of the most breathtaking sunsets anywhere in the world. This panoramic setting combines a relaxed beach front environment paired with sophistication and simplicity to provide the perfect dining experience. Or relax in Sandals lounge and enjoy some of our hand selected wines and specialty cocktails as you gaze upon the majestic coastline and enjoy some of the finest Coastal Cuisine California has to offer.
