Walk · Local favorite

Go early before the crowds arrive. Dogs run off-leash into the water, locals throw balls into the waves, and nobody yells at anyone. The south end of the beach by the cliffs is where you actually want to be. Leave your dog home if you don't have one.

Coffee · Local favorite

Get the cold-brew kombucha and a single-origin pour-over. TapShack is two blocks from the cliffs but feels like a secret locals found first. The counter staff actually know the roaster. Sit on the bench outside if the sun clears the buildings.

Walk · Local favorite

Go at low tide, not when Instagram tells you to. The north pools have purple urchins and small fish that pocket hunters miss. Wear shoes that grip wet rock. The crowds thin out past the first cove.
