The Dock
Fish tacos and ceviche tostadas without the resort markup. Sit at the bar facing the kitchen and watch boats through the window behind you. Order the catch of the day. The lunch crowd clears by 2 if you want a slower pace.
Fish tacos and the ceviche tostadas. The daily catch special is reliably the best thing on the board.

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.
