Cruisin' the Bike Path

Even on a hot summer day, sightseeing is easy (and breezy) if you go by bike.
Walk the pier or visit one of the many restaurants, bars, and beach front attractions. Dory boats come in through the surf early Sunday mornings bringing their night's catch to the fresh fish market on the beach.

Groceries

ADVICE ON GROCERIES: Pavilions is the closest market. But, to be honest, it is very expensive with so-so quality selections. If it doesn't meet your needs and you have a car, there are more options just 2 miles inland. No car?...you can bike to A's Gourmet Market, the Sunday farmer market and quality produce on Balboa Island (30 min ride across the ferry).
The closest market, but might not be the best value for you. See other listings.
