Easy Reader Best of the Beach 2026 Winners 

Gratitude for 'the best'. The urge to recognize "the best" is universal, even though everyone knows "the best" is too subjective to be scientific. Best of awards are really gratitide ceremonies. They satisfy people's need to express appreciation to those whose extra effort makes life a little bit richer than it would be otherwise. "Best of" awards are a way to say "thank you" to the salesman who fixes a nagging problem and the surf shop that sells grommets and grandads the boards they need, which may not be the potato chip-thin board they want. The hundreds of local businesses nominated in this year's Best of balloting is a tribute not ony to the winners but to all the nominees who make the South Bay the Best Place in the World to Live (as determined by an impartial survey of South Bay elected officials). - Kevin Cody, publisher
