Duke's Huntington Beach

Hawaiian-style restaurant at the foot of the pier, named for Duke Kahanamoku

Address 317 Pacific Coast Highway

Hawaiian-American chain restaurant in a long, low building right at the base of the pier — by some distance the best ocean-view dinner spot in town. The cooking is consistent rather than ambitious: macadamia-crusted mahi-mahi, fish tacos, hula pie. Go for the location and the sunset, not the food.

Reservations are essential at sunset in summer. The downstairs Barefoot Bar is more casual, takes walk-ins, and has the same view.
