The Best Places To Eat Near The Beach In Los Angeles

"Come to Bludso’s Santa Monica location with a hungry group, preferably one in the mood to sip bourbon and beer after a long time in the sun—and also eat hulking trays of barbecue, of course. The smoky bark on the brisket and pork ribs is why this place—and its original La Brea location—is well-known in the city’s barbecue scene. If you’re looking to feed a few people who just played beach volleyball, get one of the party trays, which come with prime brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, hot links, and a heap of sides for a reasonable per-person price." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
