Excellent spot to spend a few hours and enjoy the sun when visiting Catalina Island. We got to the island in the morning and explored via the golf cart rental and after headed over to the beach club. Good vibe and music playing with very friendly staff. We had an issue with someone taking our chairs however the staff smoothened that over promptly so no issues for us.
Useful tip: Book your seats in advance as it can get full fairly quickly in the weeks leading up to your planned trip. Will visit again when I go to Catalina Island.

Hard to beat the view! Bartender Ryan was super nice. My wife tried Painkiller drinks at four bars on the island and thought Ryan's was the best. Great spot to chill and relax.

This place is undeniably overrated. While the view is gorgeous, the price of the food leaves you questioning, "What?" A visit for the view might be justified, but if you're expecting exceptional food, it might fall short of expectations.

We recently hosted a beach party at Descanso Beach Club for my daughter, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. We didn't have a reservation, but the first-come, first-served system worked seamlessly. The restaurant's location right on the beach, with tables facing the ocean, offered a stunning view that set the perfect backdrop for our celebration.
What sets Descanso Beach Club apart is the opportunity to enjoy the beach while dining – we could even go for a swim! To make the experience even more special, we booked a cabana for the party, which provided a private and comfortable space.
The food at Descanso Beach Club was not only decent but also reasonably priced, making it accessible for families. The service was excellent, with a fast response time that ensured our needs were met promptly. They offered a wide variety of drink choices to suit everyone's preferences.
In summary, Descanso Beach Club is the ideal place for a paradise beach party without breaking the bank. The combination of the beautiful beachfront location, affordable pricing, and great service make it a top choice for beachside gatherings and celebrations.
