Young’s Beach Shack
33521 Ritz Carlton Dr, Dana Point, CA
Crema's Take
“This oceanfront Dana Point gem sits right above Salt Creek Beach with unbeatable views of surfers and the Pacific, making it the perfect spot to linger over coffee while the waves roll in. Their breakfast and light menu hit the mark with fresh poke bowls, crispy fish and chips, and hearty burritos at reasonable prices, all served with the laid-back beach shack energy that keeps locals and visitors coming back. Whether you're catching a quick caffeine fix or settling in for a slow morning with friends, the outdoor seating and approachable vibe make this a rare find where great food, ocean views, and genuine chill coexist.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
