Food Scene

Easy parking, decent happy hour and great menu. The owner also has two great restaurants in Laguna Beach: Watermarc and 230 Forest. I recommend both.

Everything Else

If you've eaten well here, as you should, you may want to burn some calories and get the blood flowing. This is my crossfit gym and they have a very manageable Friends and Family workout most Saturdays at 10 am!

Parks & Nature

Main beach is a great place to get your bearings for the coast, plus it is just a beautiful place to stroll, people watch or just sit on the beach and relax. Be sure to walk the 'boardwalk' north for a good cliff-side view of the coast and if you time it at sunset, you'll be glad you did.

On the waterside, Crystal Cove is a 3 mile long beach with a great restaurant (Beachcomber) on the beach and a cliff-side good food stand with incredible views (The Shake Shack). If you eat at the restaurant, parking in the Los Trancos parking lot is free/validated. Inland, Crystal Cove state park is great for hiking. You can find 60 minute to three hour routes and almost all of them will include an ocean view. Bring sunscreen and a hat - there is very little shade in this park!

Sightseeing

Built in 1776, the Mission is a great way to see some history of the area and understand more about how the area was settled. San Juan has nice shops, restaurants and bars with live music, too.
