Carbon Beach Club Restaurant @ Malibu Beach Inn

The Carbon Beach Club Restaurant is one of the most romantic places in Southern California to while away an afternoon. Located on the beach overlooking the Malibu Pier, the restaurant is part of the Malibu Beach Inn, a lovely boutique hotel. At the restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and/or drinks (if that's all you're in the mood for), you'll be swept up into the wonderfulness of it all, watching the waves crash along the shoreline, seeing the birds swoop and soar overhead and, if you are really having a lucky date, catching a humpback whale breach as it makes it way along the shoreline during migration seasons. Even if all you see are your lover's star-struck eyes, this is a place that has love in the air. Plan an overnight stay at the award-winning hotel with their "Romantic Retreat" package, complete with champagne and strawberries.
