The Details

What makes it Kobu

At The Surfrider, the drinks are just as important a part of the day as the food. This is the case for the coffee in the morning to the Apres Surf smoothie or house-made tonics, all the way through to the last nightcap. The Surfrider beverage offerings are a true taste of California; an edit of small-scale natural and organic vineyards and distilleries, Ayurvedic tea houses, and local coffee roasteries. The mixologists are passionate and proud of our local produce and how it can be infused into all of our beverage program.

The Surfrider rooms feature Grown Alchemist organic skincare products, Bellino Linens, and Custom Surfboards by our friends at McTavish.
