Okay, so you may not have had the epic summer you’d hoped for this year. Sure, you had plans to leave it all for a few days and head to that secret spot that no one but you knows about – then life happened. Bummer. If you’re still pouting about the summer that never was, maybe it’s time you looked at things a little differently. You may not have time to head to the mountains, so how about dining along the water’s edge? There’s something about the crashing waves that heals the soul, or so they say. Grab your favorite person and hit the sands, and eat and salvage what’s left of this summer. You and mother nature can redeem this one. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Cafe Waterfront 102 F Street, Eureka
yelp/Bob P.
yep/allison s. Steamed clams in a bucket? Yes, please! Here’s what one fan says, “The best hangtown fry and Bloody Mary in town. You should visit here and won’t be disappointed–unless you have a literal definition of “beach”. WC is a block+ from a bay, with an entire peninsula between it and a beach. Eat here and then drive across the bridge and across the peninsula to the beach for a fabulous morning or afternoon! Or enjoy a Bloody and walk through the historic shops of Old Town.”
- Lucas Wharf Restaurant & Bar 595 S Hwy 1Bodega Bay

yelp/Stephanie a. Beer battered fish tacos are a must here. Plus the view is healing and gorgeous!
- The Tides Wharf Restaruant 835 Highway OneBodega Bay

yelp/kevin r. And then there’s this yumminess! Smoked salmon sandwich (lox, cream cheese, onion, and capers on a toasted bagel. I’m definitely a fan.
- The View Marriott780 Mission StSan Francisco
yelp/theviewbusinessowners
yelp/theviewbusinessowner Just because you’re looking out to the water does NOT mean you have to order seafood. Nope. Case in point…this deliciousness. Smoked pork in an adorable mini cocette.
- Fog Harbor Fish House Pier 39Ste A-202San Francisco
yelp/nate m.
yelp/maggie a. What makes this an exceptionally amazing place? It’s owned by the Simmons Family - one of the “first families” of Pier 39. One article had this to say, “Every table at Fog Harbor offers spectacular San Francisco Bay views, which earned OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice award for Best Scenic View. "
- Bistro At The Cliff House
yelp/venna q. t.
yelp/andy s. Mahi Mahi and polenta? It’s to die for. Plus, the views here are heavenly. Not sure many compare to this spot.
- MacDuffs Pub 1041 Fremont AveSouth Lake Tahoe
yelp/jorge j.
yelp/edward c. First things first…this is NOT on the beach. BUT, you are within spitting distance of Lake Tahoe. Which means for those folks who love this heavenly piece of El Dorado County, you have no problem walking a block to this DELICIOUS pub/restaurant. From what we hear, the bread pudding makes you wanna slap your mama. (Good to know. Don’t eat here with your mama.)
- Guaymas 5 Main StTiburon
yelp/guaymasbusinessowner
yelp/marina t. Ocean view PLUS Mexican cuisines = PURE JOY.
- Scoma’s of Sausalito 588 BridgewaySausalito
yelp/scomasbusinessowner
yelp/scomasbusinessowner Yes. We know Sausalito can be a teensy bit heavy on the wallet - BUT, can you put a price on a memorable meal with your significant other? This is THE SPOT to bring your someone special. They’ll LOVE you for it.
Ahhhhh, summer 2016, we’ve still got you in our crosshairs! All better now? Which one are you heading to this weekend?
