From the reviews

Crab season made this lunch date with my husband extra special. The drive was beautiful, the setting felt like a peaceful ocean cottage, and the crab was exceptionally fresh and perfectly prepared. Garlic sauce and cioppino were both excellent, and the service was warm and attentive.

★★★★★ — Smile, Jan 2026

Loved the food here -- usually it's hit or miss on fried seafood classics, but all the food our party had, from the chowder and fish and chips to the pastas and salads, everything was flavorful and presented well. And the views are amazing, even on an overcast day.

★★★★★ — Sean, Apr 2026

I had a little time before my flight home after work today so I drove over to the beach and found this little gem. I had the coast sliders which consist of a tuna, a salmon and a crab cake slider with a side of fries. The sliders were excellent, highly recommend 10/10.

★★★★★ — Christopher, Apr 2026

I have never stated to having a perfect dining experience until today. Sweet Beverly greeted us at the door and made you feel so welcome. The scenery of the ocean and waves where breathtaking, and the food, Salmon, shrimp, Calamari where so perfectly cooked you wanted to give the cooks a tip, I truly can say anything…

Getting married at Moss Beach Distillery

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.
