Serving signature favorites at Avalon's only beachside restaurant & bar
Beverages & beach bites with the best views in town
Nestled in Descanso Canyon just past historic Catalina Casino, Descanso Beach Club features Avalon’s only beachside restaurant and bar, where you can enjoy a fantastic selection of signature appetizers, regional favorites, and classic Catalina cocktails. Seating on our ocean-view patio is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Or kick your experience up a notch and have your food and beverages delivered to your private Cabana or Chaise Lounge.
Summer beach parties
DJs play live at Descanso Beach Club every Saturday during the summer. Note: DJs play toward the beach bar, not the cabana/chaise lounge area.
