There’s no beach in West Hollywood, but there is a new beach hangout. Beach Nation (beachnation.com) is a hip restaurant serving up delicious beach comforts (eats) while you put your feet in the sand getting some Vitamin D. You can go to the beach without having to drive 10 miles west on Santa Monica Blvd. to the Pacific Ocean in neighboring Santa Monica. Beach Nation in the heart of West Hollywood is a parking lot turned faux-beach spot next to the original Irv’s Burgers location. Down the road Irv’s fare will become part of the menu at the affordable, new café serving coffee, tea and paninis, egg sandwiches, greens and grains starting at 7 a.m. daily. Beach Nation closes at 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnights on weekends. Location: 8289 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA. Other great pastry shops in West Hollywood include Le Pain Quotidien.
