About Surf Spot

Experience The Surf Spot Watch Our Video

For many years Chef/Owner Derek Burns nurtured his idea of creating a restaurant unique to the Northern California coastal town of Pacifica, where people could hang out, eat great food, and celebrate the adventurous outdoor spirit that is so much a part of life in Northern California. With partners David Szeto and Tait Cowan, his dream was realized and the Surf Spot restaurant was born.
