About Us
Young's Beach Shack is a coastal classic, reimagined. Inspired by the original Young's Beach Camp, a gatekeeper of Salt Creek Beach in the 1940s thru the 60's, our new beachside café welcomes locals and visitors alike to stop by for a drink and a bite, and enjoy the incredible and culturally rich Salt Creek Beach.
Young's is perched above Salt's most iconic surf breaks - from The Point to Gravels, the views take you from Laguna Beach, Catalina Island to the southern point of the cove. Spending a day at the beach, walking the bluffs or just enjoying a sunset on the park - Young's is the perfect spot to refresh and refuel. Our menu is created by Chef Kyle St. John and features fresh seafood, locally sourced comfort foods, beach picnic provisions, a coffee bar, beer, and wine. From breakfast dates to family dinners, or even hosting a beachside event for 200 people, Young's Beach Shack has something for everyone.

We offer a full bar and catering menu designed by Executive Chef Kyle St. John, celebrating the local flavors of Laguna Beach and curated to fit your needs.
