More about The Shores Restaurant
The dining room runs the length of the building with ocean views, and there is also an open-air patio strung with lights, a bar and lounge, and The Lawn, a grassy strip between the restaurant and the sand with fire pits and yard games. Inside, arched windows, decorative tile and pale weathered wood give the room a beach-house look, and live music plays on some evenings.
Seafood dishes have included black mussels steamed with chorizo and a tequila-lime broth, Baja fish tacos, a Baja-style cioppino and swordfish over cilantro-pesto risotto, alongside salads, sandwiches and meat entrées.
