Grab a shake at Ruby’s Surf City Diner (Salted Caramel is the bomb), scout out your favorite busker, or rent fishing essentials (just a rod, reel, and bait will do ya) to try your hand at casting a line. Fishing licenses aren’t required on the pier, so there’s no advance paperwork involved — and if you have no idea what you’re doing, just watch the dozen or so others who look like they’ve been going at it for decades.
The second story of Ruby’s has been transformed into Jan & Dean’s Tiki Lounge - a tropical hideaway, complete with a lush ambiance and a special food and cocktail menu. Ask for a booth by the window, order a round of mai tais, and you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to Hawaii in no time!
Stores
A leisurely stroll offers stunning panoramic views of Catalina Island, Newport Beach to the south, and Long Beach and San Pedro to the north; aerial scenes of the surf action; and, of course, photo ops. Step into Surf City Store for souvenirs, The Kite Connection for colorful acrobatic silks and ribbons, or Let's Go Fishing for a rod, reel, and bait to cast your line off the pier (no license required).
