It's no Jonathan Club (Santa Monica) but for a private beach front one-story structure with ample patio seating, tennis courts, basketball courts, large BBQ grills, kitchen, restrooms, shuffle board, foosball, two swings and a little playground structure, plus reserved parking, the Shorecliffs Beach Club does the job for its homeowner members in the area. *There is no parking anywhere nearby due to the high traffic. This place is located where Coast Hwy turns into El Camino Real. I was lucky to have been a guest here twice, once for a private party (rental for a fee) and most recently for 4th of July. It was packed but it seemed like everyone was staying out of everyone else's way. Members had to wear special wristbands and guests had different wristbands. Although the facilities for a beach club are sufficient, there are some insufficiencies to note. I couldn't tell if any staff was actually enforcing / ensuring that the general public wasn't wandering in (there was nothing stopping anyone from just coming in from the beach side and the main gate that supposedly required an electronic fob was wide open), but for sure no one was regularly checking the restrooms because the toilet paper for all 3 stalls were out of toilet paper. Not the beach club's fault but the sand at this beach is now very rocky. I was also told that 4th of July used to be a huge event but this year it was mostly a host-your-own type of deal with some scheduled events Lastly, to get to the property, you have to go under a bridge next to this disgusting body of water that may be runoff from waste treatment that sometimes flood over. There is no on-site parking - it's a nondescript lot next to the gas station across Coast Hwy/El Camino Real, but it is reserved - simply have your sticker displayed in your car. Basically, posh this place is not, but it works if you are a member and need beach club facilities or need a place to host a private event. read more

Over the past few years, Shorecliffs Beach Club has evolved into a beautiful resort-style getaway! The clubhouse area has been remodeled with new flooring and furniture. The playground, beach recreation areas, paddle tennis courts and picnic tables are stellar. The grounds have even been landscaped with exotic plants and a swag hemp fence. The clubhouse and bathrooms are clean, sanitized and always stocked. The private parking lot has ample room with more than 100 parking spots for Shorecliffs Beach Club members and their guests. Parking stickers or paper guest parking passes must be displayed on the inside front window of each vehicle. The staff members over the past few years have been incredible as well. They are hardworking, helpful and enforce the rules set by the board of directors. Membership wristbands are checked and members must sign in any guests. The staff never allows non-residents onto the premises unless they are accompanied by a Shorecliffs member. You must check out the updated website to see just how amazing the club has become.
