Food scene

This is a fun, beautiful spot that overlooks the ocean. Great burgers, onion rings, beer and kombucha on tap. Feels like you're in someone's backyard right on the beach. Very cool vibes.

Awesome hike with a view of Carp and the ocean. A lot of uphill and switchbacks. 1.9 miles up to Frank’s Bench for the view but the trail goes on for many more miles.
