There’s nothing like a tasty seafood meal after a long day at the beach.

Sam’s Chowder House, Half Moon Bay
This very popular harborside eatery offers a full oyster bar — and legendary lobster rolls. (The Today Show dubbed the latter one of the five best sandwiches in the country.) Start with crab cakes, dayboat scallops, roasted garlic chili prawns, New England and Manhattan chowder or New Orleans-style gumbo. Then try a lobster roll or one of the other mains, which include local halibut, branzino sea bass, petrale sole and King salmon.
Details: Open for lunch and dinner daily at 4210 Highway One, Half Moon Bay; www.samschowderhouse.com.
