Where we parked it was roughly a 8 min walk.. @ night it does get really dark however they do have some lights along the trail. The appetizers were all good, clam chowder and salmon were delicious. Had a few cocktails as well didn’t disappoint. There’s a bathroom towards the back of the restaurant and on the other side of the bridge. Watching the sunset was really cool it wasn’t cold @ all. Overall great experience.

I’ve been here twice for lunch in different periods of time. What I like about this place, is there menu! It’s updated with new dishes, so you can try something different which will enhance your experience. Sometimes, you won’t find specific dish you’ve tried before because they remove it.

The Beachcomber Cafe is a very special place, nestled inside a very special place. Just steps from a beautiful stretch of beach in the charming and nostalgic Historic District section of Crystal Cove State Park, you’ll find fantastic food (especially their breakfasts), excellent service, classic retro vibes and a truly magical and serene setting. Check this place out. Thank me later.

I was here about a week ago and really enjoyed everything they had to offer. We had to wait just a little bit but luckily they are right on the beach so we just enjoyed our time in the sun. My two friends and I all ordered something each and we shared everything and out of the three I tried the chilaquiles were my absolute favorite. I am so ready to go back just for that and try more of their meals. Thanks again for the great service, food, and ambience.

We have been here a couple of times for breakfast and once for lunch, and each time the food, service, and views have been great. We park up in the parking lot with the shuttle (runs 7am-10 pm), but we like to walk down and back up ourselves. There are some cool tide pools nearby, so we like to check them out too before or after we eat.

The draw is the Beignets. It is their famous signature dish. Located right on the beach, it’s a painless wait if you’re stuck waiting over an hour for a table.

We had a great time here. Had my 34th anniversary dinner with my wife and it was great. We both had the Halibut and it was fantastic. The price is a bit high but the beach view and pleasant environment is worth it for special occasions.

Lovely Easter brunch! We enjoyed the special Brunch Menu and got the Surf n Turf (short rib was amazing!) and Steak & Eggs (or rather, single poached egg.). The beignets were very airy and warm, delicious. Great location and 3 hours of parking free with restaurant validation. Not a far walk from the parking lot, or $2 each for the shuttle. ❤️

If you don’t mind the 500 or so ft hike downhill and up to the parking lot, or sit in a bus that runs every 15-20 minutes, you are in for a great treat!

The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove is a hidden gem with a stunning oceanfront setting. The decor is charming and rustic, with views that will take your breath away. The lunch menu is outstanding, with a variety of delicious fish dishes to choose from. We started with the creamy and mouth-watering clam chowder, followed by the unforgettable lobster roll on a perfectly aromatic bun. The poached butter made the lobster incredibly soft and flavorful. We also tried the Ahi BLT sandwich, which was cooked to perfection and served on a delicious brioche bun with a great sauce. The service was excellent, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Beachcomber at Crystal Cove for an unforgettable meal in one of the most picturesque locations.
