A 40th Birthday Large Beach Picnic for 26 in Santa Monica

July 2025 · 26 guests · Santa Monica beach

Word of mouth brought this group to us for a milestone: a 40th birthday celebration for 26 guests on a Saturday in July 2025. The host booked our Large Beach Picnic for three hours starting at 11am, giving the group the best part of a summer day by the water, and asked for a birthday greeting on the welcome chalkboard.

A Large Beach Picnic is our standard format for groups over 20. We scale our picnic inventory to the guest count: low tables set on rugs, cushions for everyone, umbrellas for shade, and still and sparkling water on ice. That means a big group can arrive, sit down together and settle in without anyone hauling gear from the parking lot.

For a birthday group, the layout keeps everyone together around one shared setup, with space to spread out on the sand.

Tell us your headcount and date and we’ll put together seating, shade, games and catering for your group.
