When you live in the city, a trip to the beach every now and then becomes more than an activity of luxury – it becomes a necessity. Traffic jams continue to choke Metro Manila’s roads; noise and air pollution plague our littered streets; and we haven’t even touched on the discussion over today’s political issues.
Let’s not go there.
Needless to say, everyone needs a break. One of the best ways to catch a breather is to hit the beach. Adding to the roster of Maginhawa’s food joints is a quaint little resto that provides guests the feeling of dining with sand, sea, and surf: Let’s Sea.

Let’s Sea is a restaurant and surf-and-skate shop nestled along Maginhawa Street. Penny boards, bikinis in vogue, trendy beach apparel, and Balance Board (Balbo) merchandise are also sold here.
The cool, chillaxed interiors of Let’s Sea are reminiscent of beach-front restaurants in popular surf destinations like La Union, Baler, and Zambales. Murals of ocean waves are splashed on the walls and flanked by surfboards in a corner, giving guests those “I just want to be at the beach” feels.
Psychologists claim that visualizing yourself strewn on a beach relaxing by the ocean calms the anxious mind. A visit to Let’s Sea can definitely help ease your city woes and relax the mind beset by Manila madness.
We began our Let’s Sea experience with a few refreshing beverages perf for a hot day. Let’s Sea’s limonade (Php75) and calamansi (Php85) juices are served with tiny shots of honey. These juices are pretty delightful on their own, but adding a dash of honey provides the perfect touch of sweetness to their tang.
