There are few American experiences more quintessential than eating seafood at a beachside shack in the summer — messy fingers, salty breeze, cool beer, and all. In this, Gogobot users are well versed. If you are looking for a little casual coastal dining experience to round out the season, here are some of our lobster-roll-and-fresh-oyster-loving community’s favorites in the US.
1. Neptune’s Net, Malibu, CA
…this seaside institution has been serving up great seafood since the days of the beach boys and you still get that vibe when you come after a day on the beach for a great meal as the sun sets on the Pacific.

Get the lobster roll and brussel sprouts. Make sure you sit outside for a cute patio overlooking the beach.

Doesn’t get any better than this. Fresh lobsters and steamers right on the lobsterman’s working wharf. Five Island’s Lobster Company has an array of food as well as the lobsters/steamers. Can’t beat the awesome view of five islands right there while you eat.

The crab shack is singular Georgia experience. Set on the wetlands, the atmosphere is pure bayou with peach basket light fixtures, holes in the table so you can toss crab, lobster and crawfish remains and keep right on eating.

Serving possibly the best oysters in California and a clam chowder that is outstanding, the Marshall Store is a little seafood shack located on Highway 1, north of San Francisco. Their outside tables offer a picturesque view to complement your meal.

A place that you will remember and want to go back to on each visit to the beach.
The atmosphere is great and the gumbo and crab melt is wonderful.
