Neptune’s Net Seafood has been serving fresh seafood from its Malibu Beach location since 1958. Neptune has been a setting for numerous movies, including Point Break and the Fast and the Furious.
The atmosphere at Neptune’s Net is casual, with surfers in their wetsuits, bikers with leather chaps, couples, and families that have dropped by after a day trip for a steaming cup of Neptune’s famous New England clam chowder.
Seating is on picnic tables inside and out, with the patio tables offering a view of the Pacific ocean. Weekends Neptune’s Net is jam-packed with bikers and beach-goers.
Finding a seat can be a problem; if you have to use the bathroom, beware. They are porta-potties with no soap or water. Neptune’s Net restaurant is defiantly not fine dining along the Malibu Coast, but the food is affordable and tasty.
If you don’t mind a laid-back mix of bikers, tourists, and surfers, it’s a great spot to order a cold drink and take the ocean view from the patio.
This place gets jam-packed on weekends and is a favorite beach destination for bikers and car clubs. We recommend avoiding peak hours if possible.

Things to do and see in Malibu Beach
I was looking at the ad you have for the Santa Monica Flying Museum and found my way to this Neptune’s Net restaurant. I grew up in Santa Monica 1952 to 1964. I remember it! 5 years old to 16 years old. Fond memories. I live in South Dakota and still miss the ocean at 75.
Thnaks for the comment.
I have driven by this place of business and was always going to stop – never did. I am a little concerned about Porta Potties.
How does the Health Department view this place of business? Do they have running water within the resturaunt? If not – don’t think
I will eat here.
Neptune’s has running water and employee bathroom indoors, outside porta potties for guests. Visitors don’t come here for a four-star meal, they come here to see and be seen.
If you go on a weekend grab a place to sit (on the patio) first and then order.
