Gift Tips
- Sit on one of the two outdoor patios to enjoy ocean views and sunset while sharing tacos or burgers.
- Order the mahi mahi tacos or carnitas tacos — tacos are consistently recommended and pair well with a beer from the 27 taps.
- Try the High Tide or Royal Burger for a hearty meal; both are popular choices among regulars.
- Ask for cocktails like the Coco Loco or Mexican Mai Tai for a fun, strong tiki-style drink (note: the Mai Tai may be limited to two per guest).
- If visiting for a game or live music, arrive early or plan to walk from nearby parking or the train to avoid limited parking.

AmbienceCasual
Year Established2012
Cardiff Beach Bar At Tower 13 is a casual restaurant and sports lounge in Cardiff by the Sea, CA, located on the Highway 101 directly across from the sandy beach at Lifeguard Tower 13. Opened in September 2012 and run by local owners, it blends a laid-back beach atmosphere with a full bar and scratch kitchen.
- Ambiance: Casual beach bar and sports lounge with two outdoor patios and ocean views across from Lifeguard Tower 13.
- Cuisine: New American menu focused on scratch-kitchen fare — gourmet burgers, tacos, wings, salads, and shareable bar plates.
- Highlights: 27 beers on tap, a large cocktail list (including tiki-style drinks), lots of TVs for sports, and friendly staff who create a local, welcoming vibe.
The menu covers familiar favorites and a few elevated bar classics, so it works well for everything from a quick lunch after the beach to a relaxed dinner with friends. Guests often enjoy sitting on the back patio to watch the sunset or gathering inside to catch games on the many TVs.
The staff aim to be attentive and personal; management frequently steps in to accommodate events and special occasions. With easy access from the train and a walkable location, the bar is a convenient stop for locals and visitors looking for solid food, strong drinks, and an ocean-side vibe.
