From Santa Monica to Manhattan Beach, 2025 has brought a wave of new beachfront bars and restaurants, redefining what coastal dining looks like.
Think: rooftop ceviche bars overlooking surfers, tiki-inspired lounges lit by bonfires, and minimalist seafood counters where oysters are shucked against sunset.
These venues tap into L.A.’s essence where land, ocean, and leisure collide. They remind us that nightlife here isn’t always neon and bass. Sometimes, it’s waves, sand, and a mezcal paloma in hand.
