From the reviews
Excellent service with great white Russians!! Their atmosphere is amazing!! It's like being in Italy on the beach!! This place is a must visit!! Exciting and fun!!!
Service was ok, but food was flavorful. Blood orange marg was soooo good. The view is spectacular. It's such a nice place to just relax. Snorkeling is great here, too.
We just sat on the rocket beach. We didn't use any services. The restaurant was open behind us, but we didn't go in. The beach is beautiful.
Went here while visiting Catalina from a cruise. Our group of 10 walked here from the port and enjoyed the beach views with some great drinks. The descanso destroyer and spicy watermelon margarita were both delicious and strong. The staff was friendly, attentive and helped combine some tables for our large group.
Getting married at CHILL at Descanso Beach Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
