Lunch at the Beachcomber at Crystal Cove

 We had a really fun and delicious meal at the Beachcomber Cafe in Crystal Cove yesterday.  We were celebrating two birthdays.  Crystal Cove is in Newport Beach and the restaurant is right on the sand.  The best part is that it is reasonably priced!  We had a beautiful cool day in the high 60's.

 In the winter/spring they put up the canopy and siding to keep out the wind and beach mist.  Right after we got there, they raised the siding and the cool breeze blew through.

In the summer, they remove the canopy and siding and umbrellas are the providers of shade.  The food was delicious.  They had a nice combination of American and Seafood.  Our table ordered: Mahi maui tacos, Ahi tacos, Shrimp Cobb salad, Chicken Sandwich,  Mahi Mahi BLT and everyone loved what they had.  They also offer, burgers, turkey sandwich, tomato soup etc.  (lunch menu). Sorry, no pics of the food. 

Crystal Cove also offers cottage for rent from the 1920's.  I believe they are part of the State Park System and they are booked 6 months in advance.  They are reasonably priced and right on the beach.  You park in a parking lot across the highway and you can either take a shuttle across or you can walk along a paved path under the highway.  They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner.
