A SportsBar that sits on the beach with a well-used volleyball court right in front. Yup, that does live up to the name.

Happy hour, music, and fish tacos while watching the groms in their surf lessons? Sign me up.

Oh Same Same…how we love you and your relaxed surfer vibes. If you go early, you’ll run into everyone coming off Dawn Patrol, a little later the mom’s roll-in after school drop-off. The coffee is awesome, the food menu is simple and super tight, the views are exceptional, and their artwork, surfboards, and ceramics for purchase are swoon-worthy.

This non-profit coffee bar is the perfect start to any day; play with rescue puppies, drink coffee, and help dogs find their forever homes.

Hidden inside the Villas Cerritos condo complex is one of the best open secrets; a legit wood-fired pizza restaurant.

Whether you’re looking for live sports or live music paired with strong drinks in a festive environment, Shaka’s is your jam.
