Diner by the Sea underwent renovations in 2002 after it took over the famed, half-century-old Beach Burger. The new owners made sure to retain the previous shop's specialty burgers to keep Long Beach locals coming back. Diner by the Sea is a coffee shop and old-fashioned diner that serves breakfast all day. The eatery offers daily specials and continental cuisine prepared with love by its chef and owner, a Long Beach local.
