This family-friendly destination has been popular since it first opened in the 1950s. Over the years, the café has maintained its retro vibes while whipping up three meals a day for hungry, beach-going visitors. After a meal and setting up your chairs for an afternoon of sun and surf, consider going for a walk along the pristine shore, gazing up at Malibu’s cliffside homes, or meandering as far as Point Dume State Beach.
The Paradise Cove Beach Cafe offers parking on-site for a fee, as well as the opportunity to rent shaded daybeds and cabana-style private areas during your visit. The café requests that all guests respect the quiet ambience of the beach and keep noise and music to a minimum.
