The California Surf Club isn't just a social club or restaurant—it's a 21,000 square-foot coastal compound... a home for our community... where incredible vibes, exceptional food + drink, and BeachLife culture collide. As the laid-back sister to California Surf Club, BeachLife Riviera offers a sun-drenched, open-air, coastal-inspired dining experience that captures the spirit of a beach getaway—casual, elevated, and full of life. With ocean breezes, community energy, and a menu rooted in fire-forward coastal cuisine, the BeachLife Riviera is where surf culture meets soulful hospitality.
Located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean on the Redondo Waterfront, California Surf Club's public restaurant & bar is seamlessly integrated with a beach lifestyle social club offering truly unique experiences ranging from intimate performances, influential voices, activity workshops, community events, private celebrations, and more.
