Saltwater Deck

When it comes to oceanfront dining, it’s hard to get much closer than a table at the new Saltwater Deck. Located at the foot of Junipero (just below Ocean Blvd.), a collection of tables are scattered on the beach and just a sandal-toss from the water.  Open for breakfast and lunch, Saltwater Grill packs a bunch with an array of omelets, breakfast burritos, sandwiches (really good sandwiches), salads, wraps and beach bites plusa whole lot more. Such a fun place to meet friends, hang out and watch the sunset (they’re open until 6pm, so great for an early dinner destination).
