        This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") is filed with
respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") of
California Beach Restaurants, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"),
whose principal executive offices are located at 17383 Sunset Boulevard, Suite
140, Pacific Palisades, California 90272.

Item 2. Identity and Background:

        (a) This Statement is being filed by Sea Fair Partners, L.P. ("Sea
Fair"); Sand and Sea Partners, L.P. ("Sand and Sea"); and J. Christopher Lewis
("Lewis"), who are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Reporting
Persons." The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a "group" for purposes of
Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
thereunder (the "Act"), although each expressly disclaims any assertion or
presumption that it or any of the other persons on whose behalf this Statement
is filed constitutes a "group." Neither the filing of this Statement nor the
Agreement [see Exhibit 1] should be construed individually or collectively to be
an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is a member of a "group"
consisting of one or more of the Reporting Persons or any one or more other
persons. Lewis is the General Partner and a limited partner of each of Sea Fair
and Sand and Sea. Each of Sea Fair and Sand and Sea was formed for the express
purpose of purchasing securities of the Company.

        (b) The principal business office of each of Sea Fair, Sand and Sea, and
Lewis is 300 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071.

        (c) Lewis' principal occupation is General Partner of Riordan, Lewis &
Haden, a venture capital firm.

        (d)-(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have
been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

        (f) Sea Fair and Sand and Sea are each California Limited Partnerships;

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration:

        Sand and Sea acquired beneficial ownership of 775,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a 5% Convertible Subordinated
Note purchased by it. The 5% Convertible Subordinated Note was issued in
consideration of payment to the Company by Sand and Sea of $775,000 in cash,
from Sand and Sea's personal funds. (See Item 4 below.)

CUSIP NO. 129903209          SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 6 of 11 Pages

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction:

        Pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement among the Company, Sand and Sea
and certain other purchasers, dated as of March 30, 1999 (the "Note Purchase
Agreement") [see Exhibit 2(1)], Sand and Sea purchased from the Company a 5%
Convertible Subordinated Note (the "Note"). The entire principal amount
outstanding under the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, may at any time
after March 30, 1999 be converted, in whole or in part, into shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company, at the rate of one share for
each $1.00 in principal amount of the Note plus accrued and unpaid interest
applicable to the principal amount so converted on the tenth business day
following the receipt by the Company of written notice of conversion as to all
or any part of the principal amount of the Note.

        Sand and Sea's purchase was part of a private financing consisting of
$1,800,000 of the Company's 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due March 30,
2003, which raised the funds necessary for the Company to retire approximately
$1,000,000 of indebtedness and to remodel a restaurant operated by a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. Certain existing shareholders of the Company
participated in the private placement.

        Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company has afforded Sand and Sea
and other purchasers thereunder certain incidental and demand registration
rights with respect to the securities of the Company acquired thereunder.

        The Reporting Persons do not have any present plans to dispose of or to
acquire additional shares of Common Stock but reserve the right to do so.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer:

        (a) The Company has outstanding 3,400,930 shares of Common Stock.

        Sea Fair is the owner of 332,478 shares of the Company's Common Stock,

beneficial owner of 775,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock that are
subject to a currently convertible note. Accordingly, Sand and Sea is deemed the
beneficial owner of an aggregate of 1,077,478 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, representing 25.80% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.

        Lewis is the owner of an aggregate of 634,956 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, which currently represents 18.67% of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock. In addition, under Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Lewis is deemed the

subject to a currently convertible note. Accordingly, Lewis is deemed the
beneficial owner of an aggregate of 1,409,956 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, representing 33.76% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.
