Descanso Beach Club

Put a Drink in Your Hand and Your Feet in the Sand

Stroll along the waterfront past the iconic Catalina Casino to Descanso Beach Club. It's home to Catalina's only beachside restaurant and bar and one of the last private beaches in California open to the public. It's also one of the few places where you can legally have a drink in your hand and your feet in the sand...at the same time.

Serene morning hours on the Club's soft imported sand give way to afternoons of sun-drenched fun on the beach, where you can enjoy signature food and drinks delivered to your private cabana, chaise lounge, beach towel or ocean-view table.

Cabanas and Chaise Lounges

Our chaise lounges and private cabanas are a great way to elevate your Descanso Beach Club experience. Kick back and enjoy the warm sun, cool breeze and beautiful ocean views on your own slice of Descanso paradise.

Some of our specialty cocktails include The Original Buffalo Milk, the Descanso Destroyer, Descanso Lemonade and the Saldana Michelada. View our menu and hours online!
