One of my favorite places to hike and enjoy the ocean views. Approximately 30 minute drive. My favorite hike is to walk along the bluffs to rattlesnake trail and hike up the front side to Valencia Peak (One of the highest peaks in our county). NOTE: No dogs allowed

Drinks & Nightlife
Outlaws in a local bar and grill that offers a poker room and blackjack gaming. New owners recently bought the bar and I notices a good crowd. Some nights they have Karaoke! Sunday night Prime Rib dinner is great! I think food is serviced daily until 11:00 p.m.

Sightseeing
Located up the coast approximately 45 minutes, the views of the coast are amazing. I love to watch the Elephant Seals. The Elephant Seals are always present but have different times of the year when they come to have their babies. It is really interesting to learn about them. Usually, there is a volunteer docent who teaches all about them! I highly recommend!
