Put your feet in the sand and a drink in your hand at the Descanso Beach Club, Avalon’s only seaside restaurant and bar. A favorite of both visitors and locals, this is a popular escape from downtown Avalon during the summer season.
Situated in a private cove just past the Casino, the Descanso Beach Club offers the beauty of a private beach with all the advantages of a club. The beach front property is being completely transformed for 2010 and will feature upgraded facilities with new high-end amenities such as private cabana and chaise longue rentals.
The open-air restaurant will offer daytime and evening dining with fire rings on the beach and two outdoor bars. Weekly music on the lawn and an expanded beach area will provide for ample enjoyment of the seaside location. A new activity center will house one-stop shopping for activities at the beach club and around the island, including; Zip Line, Sea Trek, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling, Snuba, massages, golf tee times and all Discovery Tours. The Descanso Beach Club will also serve as the home and staging area for the new Zip Line and Sea Trek adventures.
During the summer months, join us for BBQ Under the Stars every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Bring your own meat or purchase market priced meat and seafood at the BBQ to grill yourself on our 25 foot long open-air barbecue. We provide the spices, sauces, condiments, and 10 different hot and cold sides or salads. The BBQ Under the Stars is one of the most memorable dinners out to be had in Avalon. Reservations recommended but not required.
Descanso Beach is open late-Spring through mid-October. For more information, please call (310) 510-7410.
There is a $2 per person fee for using the private beach, no charge when seated in the dining or bar area.
