There is nothing better than enjoying a fabulous meal in a fantastic location. This summer, dine by the ocean at one of these California hotspots, from San Diego to Malibu.
Georges at The Cove
In La Jolla:
Perched high above the ocean, Georges at The Cove Ocean Terrace is the hottest (or coolest, with that fresh ocean breeze) lunch spot along the trendy La Jolla strip. Modern and casual, yet sleek as can be, George’s is the place to go for some people watching, sea lion-watching (often these cute animals hang around in the ocean cove below) and an amazing bloody mary. The fish tacos and salads are also a favorite here.

In San Diego
Situated right on the boardwalk, at the bottom of the super-chic Tower 23 hotel, JRDN is all about fine dining with cool ocean and beach views. Sit indoors or out and watch the sun set over the Pacific or just watch the people walk, bike and skateboard down the boardwalk in front of you. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, you are sure to find what you crave here. We recommend the fish of the day, or any of the seafood and shellfish offered here.

Geoffrey's
In Malibu
Pull over on Pacific Coast Highway for a great meal at Geoffrey’s, one of this elite town’s most precious eateries. Offering an incredible brunch, along with breathtaking ocean views, this is the place to go for a relaxing, yet posh meal. Dinner is also a must here: watch the stars above and sometimes the stars (celebrities) at the next table, as this is a popular spot for Hollywood’s A-List to escape the bustle of tinsel town.

In Santa Monica:
Breakfast at the beach is made perfect at Ocean & Vine at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. Enjoy fresh custom juices while watching the morning beach walkers and surfers get their exercise. We like the traditional buttermilk pancakes or the delicious huervos rancheros. No matter what you order, it comes with a great side order of ocean views. It’s a fabulous way to start your day.

Ocaen & Vine
In Newport
For fresh seafood, harbor views and a casual family atmosphere, head to Newport Landing, overlooking the historic Balboa Ferry. Try the oysters, crab cakes and ceviche to start, then have even more fish for your main course. Many nights there are live music, and the views are always a highlight. Family brunches are a big hit here too, so bring the whole gang.
