Times Description

Perched on the Malibu Pier next to Surfrider Beach, The Beachcomber recaptures the glamour of the pier’s heyday in the mid-1940s. It’s hard to choose where to sit: in the sharp indoor dining room with Kelly green booths, vintage surf photos, and a view of boarders bobbing in the waves, or on the weathered-plank patio where you can hear the swells break on the shore. In either spot, the ocean air will surely boost your appetite for a breakfast of macadamia pancakes, a lunch of the filet mignon Cobb salad, or a fresh seafood dinner of ridge back swordfish with kona konpachi. The best time to come may be for a sunset cocktail. Watch the sun slip into the horizon while sipping a Royal Hawaiian and listening to big band jazz (live music on Sunday nights), and you’ll be transported to a time before Malibu beaches became a war zone for celebrity paparazzi.

TIPS: The tiki-themed Tonga Lei Room, adjacent to the bar, has a semi-private circular booth for 12 (complete with lazy Susan) that can be reserved. Instead of jockeying for a parking space with the longboard set, grab a spot at the pier’s parking lot, $4 with validation from the restaurant.
