Food Scene

A 4 minute walk. Only 0.2 miles total. The California burrito is amazing, but so is everything else. This is our absolute favorite. This is directly across the street from our home and walking distance. It is in the same shopping center as Albertsons and the gas station.

Compact haunt with a chill vibe offering signature burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads & tacos. Small bar and sports tv. The food is amazing! This is a drive to destination due to steep hills. Everyday 8am-9pm

Taco Tuesday here is a good price and the view of the harbor isn't bad either.

Drinks & Nightlife

We love the concerts here and the food isn’t bad either. Intimate space with a low-key vibe offers a full dinner menu, cocktails & a range of performances. It’s a 27 minute walk or a quick 3 minute drive. Tickets typically range $15-$35 bucks per person. Great guitarist Marc Seal is performing here Saturday Feb. 24th @ 8pm for $20, he’s a locals favorite.

Sightseeing

The most beautiful beach in town, it's breath taking. You can sit here all day in the grass slopes or on the sand. This beach sits right next to The Ritz Carlton for a reason. This beach is worth a long walk on. Parking is typically $2. Best to drive there, due to steep hills.

This urgent care is the best around. Open from 8am to 8pm. If you call them in advance and tell them your need, they can wait for you and triage you quickly. They can handle xrays, stitches, broken bones, flu and all sorts of other things that just are not worth the drive or the minimum 2 hour wait at Mission Hospital Emergency Room.
