Beachcomber Café

Ann Douglas Lott/Lonely Planet

Beignets at Beachcomber Cafe, Newport Beach

The much-loved seaside joint lets you soak up the vintage 1950s beach vibe as you tuck into macadamia-nut pancakes, beignets topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, roasted turkey club sandwiches or more serious surf-and-turf. Sunset is the magic hour for Polynesian tiki drinks by the sea.
