Eat Chow
Get the duck banh mi and a beer, take the patio table near the front. Eat Chow does American comfort with one or two surprises on the menu, and the banh mi is the surprise. Weekend brunch is packed; weekday lunch is the move.
Duck banh mi. Or the burger if you want to play it straight. Truffle fries on the side.

Inspiration Point
4.8★Walk · Heavy hitter
Park at Ocean Boulevard, walk down the rock outcrops to where the coast turns. The light hits the water differently here than at the main overlook. You'll know the spot when you see the tide pools. Come at 4, not 2. The afternoon angle is why you came.
Balboa Island Ferry
4.8★Activity · Heavy hitter
Board at the Balboa Island landing in late morning when the ferry isn't crammed. The crossing takes five minutes. Sit on the right side heading out and watch the water change color under your feet. Get off and walk the residential loops on the island. Local dogs outnumber tourists here.
Lookout Point
4.8★Walk · Heavy hitter
Pull off Ocean Boulevard at the small unmarked lot. Walk the short path to the bluff edge. The cove below clears out by 4, and the light hits the water different here than at the main beach overlooks. This is what locals know.
