Cute local breakfast joint. The owner likes using fresh local produce. It's small and popular, so definitely low times are best, early and during the week. If not, expect about a 1.5 hour wait during later hours and weekends.

Looking to try some fish tacos. Best known are south of the border (Mexico), but this place brings it to us. They use to offer free tacos for 1st-time visitors, it's still worth a try and you won't need much more. Delicious!

Sightseeing
Need a morning, evening, or weekend stroll? This is a great walking trail around the corner from the house. It's about a block, so a mile round trip. Great place to walk, jog, or run. If by chance the parking entrance is closed, parking outside on the street is an alternative.

Looking for a hiking trail? This is a great one. About 25 minutes away, but worth the drive. You'll definitely be a bit sore the next day. It's considered moderate to strenuous for some.

You are about 20 minutes away from the beach and it's definitely dog-friendly as well. Long Beach is a local beach with great scenes even night life (Check-out: 2nd Street restaurants e.g. Saint & Second, White Sushi on the way home is another hidden gem, or local brewery Ballast Point)

A little bit of a drive, but the beach is beautiful and tranquil. You might get lucky and catch a low tide where you can walk over into the cove for a better view.

Looking for an adventure? This is it. It's a long hike, so I recommend leaving early. Like 6 AM/7, but you will have a scenic route from start to finish. This can be strenuous and wet. Hiking boots are recommended.

Historic National Park. This is a drive and recommended weekend trip. Look forward to dessert oasis and rock formations you have never seen anywhere else. People visit all around the world to experience this place. If you are adventurous, this is a rock climbers world. Try it with a local instructor or REI may have group classes. Famous places to stop for a quick pic: Skull Rock, Arch Rock (A little tricky to get to, but follow the crowd at the far back of White Tank campsite), and Cholla Garden.
