"Back on the Beach Café sits on the Pacific Coast Highway; the salty air, sandy setting, and clear ocean view greet you upon arrival. And when you enter the indoor-outdoor restaurant, prepare for vacation mode to take hold. You'll see lots of families; the café allows kids to play in the sand beside their tables—there are even shovels and pails. Brunch fans will love this menu, which has everything from omelettes to shakshuka to huevos rancheros. The French toast and buttermilk pancakes are huge favorites, too." - Mel Kaspin Blume
