The view here is absolutely amazing! The food and drinks are delicious, and the sounds of crashing waves really make the meal special. Servers are great, and they make the best recommendations! The only bad thing is that they do not have on-site restrooms. They are a short walk over a bridge. The atmosphere here is great, and the vibe is great! Sit outside if you can. It is totally worth it!

The Beachcomber is a delightful restaurant in the heart of Crystal Cove State Park. It is housed in a classic restored beach house right on the sand. All of the cottages are slowly being restored one by one, preserving this amazing piece of California history. The food is phenomenal, with an incredible variety. Everything is complemented by their exquisite cocktails and dessert. Not to be missed!

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.

Beautiful on the beach restaurant. Good food, a tad pricey for what you get (quantity and quality). Get the bread, it's amazing. Pass on dessert, we had three different ones and they were meh. You can dress casual or a little dressy. Friendly staff.

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.
First time, I tried shrimp pesto pasta and chicken dish. Was amazing 😋
Second time May 2023, I ate shrimp salad 🍤 🥗 the combination of flavors was so so so satisfying ⭐️
Tables on the beach is my favorite. They offered it on weekends and summer time.

The Beachcomber is situated right on the sandy shores of Crystal Cove Beach located in Crystal Cove State Park in Newport Beach, California.
It offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. It's known for its stunning coastal setting.
The Beachcomber is designed to capture the relaxed and casual vibe of a beachside eatery. The open-air patio and beachfront seating provide a laid-back and enjoyable dining experience.
The Beachcomber is housed in a historic beach cottage, adding to its unique charm and character. It's a great place to enjoy a meal in a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere.

The menu, the view, the service! Rosa was wonderful with our gluten free guest; she knew the selections and answered every question. The cocktails are excellent and the seafood is outstanding. The kobe need skewers are amazing!

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.
PS—There’s also a popular bar called The Bootlegger here

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.

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.
Outdoor seating has heaters under the benches, so don't fret about being cold. It is very comfortable on the patio.

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. ❤️

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.

We love this restaurant. We took many guests there. They all love it! It’s right next to the beach. Be sure to make a reservation if you plan to go on weekends or holidays.

Great Experience, the tram ride from the parking lot was nice, the walk to the restaurant was about a quarter mile slight downhill, we arrived about 8am for a weekend breakfast with no food reservations and had a 15 minute wait to sit on patio.

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.
