Calamigos beach club is a beach club and restaurant that opens to public. It belongs to Calamigos guest ranch and free to hotel guests to use. Non hotel guests can get day pass to hang out here for a whole day. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas at beach front, also a drink and food menu so you don't need to bring your own refreshments. Basically they provide service on a public beach, and all beaches are public in California from coastal act! So there will be other people on the beach besides beach club guests. And two young women were doing an amateur photo shoot near us which was interesting to watch. Although Pacific Ocean is not as beautiful as Caribbean Sea but the weather is much better! I can't do heat and humidity, Southern California weather is still the best!
This beach club is huge and beautiful with a main restaurant and an outdoor lounge on the sand on the property. Main restaurant is very cozy and intimate, the food and drink menus were decent. Little lounge on the sand has some games to play which is fun to hang around. The beach club and restaurant is located on PCH which is 12 minutes away from the guest ranch. We took hotel shuttle to the club and they walked us to beach front down the hills through a tunnel. Our hotel beach club provided chairs and umbrellas, we were able to order food and bottles of champagne from them. We spent an hour and half at the beach and took some nice photos until sunset hour. It was getting chilly so we headed back to beach club to eat our food. It was so quiet and we had the entire restaurant to ourselves mostly. The food was so tasty and refreshing, I think they had better food at the beach club than Calamigos ranch Malibu cafe. I really liked the complimentary coconut water and it was the best for rehydration when I drank too much!
Hubby and I truly enjoyed our time at this beach club, all staff members were extremely friendly and pleasant. For some reason there was barely any other people around the entire time so it was so romantic, relaxing and intimate! We would love to come back here if we ever stay at Calamigos ranch again!
