Mother's Day Dilemma, as Usual

Mother's Day is coming again, and since it might be my mom's last or at least the last she can appreciate in any way, I want to choose a place to go (to eat, most probably) that she will appreciate.
My mom is South African, which means she likes a good cuppa tea, which I think I've mentioned before, and she eats mostly British type things, though she has come to appreciate good Chinese food (that isn't pork, shrimp, or other un-Jew-friendly stuff), and she loves the beach. We also aren't loaded with cash.
We've taken her to Mozambique a couple of times, which was fun, though pricey, but we'd like to try someplace new. Anyone know of a place at or near the beach (maybe Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, or thereabouts, or Huntington, if we're looking north) where she can either get a lovely tea but the rest of us will find something decent to eat or Chinese, Vietnamese, or whatever that's interesting and edible, plus in a place that's worth being in for its own sake?
