Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom stayed at Dolphin Bay while shooting "Pirates of the Caribbean 3." Only three hours by car from L.A., this luxey oceanfront resort in Pismo Beach has a hotel, spa and the award-winning Lido Restaurant where Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens recently celebrated their 4th anniversary.

Dining in a private room overlooking the Pacific, they feasted on rock shrimp, coriander crusted halibut and Kobe beef. Just a month earlier, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis took the veggie route with a special vegan dinner of balsamic glazed vegetable kabobs with quinoa and pesto.
