"With a slight warming trend on the horizon, it’s always good to take advantage of the holidays in SoCal by eating at a beachside restaurant. Open since 1998, Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is ideally situated on the beach. After ordering seared scallops, chilled oysters, or black mussels mariniere, simply walk 10 feet to wade in the Pacific Ocean or settle in the sand. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
