We spent a few hours here yesterday as a fun summer activity, and it turned out to be a great experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and helped us find our way around. Entry is free and open to everyone. The place is huge, with plenty of different areas to sit, dance, chill, hang out with friends, or even play games (there’s really something for everyone). There are several bars offering a great range of drinks and snacks at reasonable prices (not one of those places that overcharge you for everything!). There was a DJ playing music the whole time, keeping the vibe fun, energetic, and vibrant. Everything was also clean and well-organized. I’ll definitely be coming back! Had the BEST night on Saturday! Drinks were on point, food was unreal and the service was next level. Sasha absolutely made the night such a vibrant energy. Can’t wait to come back! Had the best time celebrating my birthday at Cali Beach! Shoutout to our host with the most, Stephen, who checked in with me throughout the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks so much, Stephen 🙏 Always good vibes, and delicious cocktails & food at Cali 💕🥳

Absolutely loved it. The cocktails were all amazing!! The food platter included with our daybed package was fantastic (except the sushi wasn't the freshest). Great atmosphere and the volleyball area and slide were also so good. Loved it!

The best place for a work party. The staff were all amazing and the newly renovated venue is incredible. Tim was exceptional to deal with and really made the night want to remember.
