This is a bit pricey but totally worth it. This is an absolute favorite celebration spot for David and I.
Lots of locals dine here and they do have great daily specials too.

Can you say yum? This is my favorite breakfast place. It’s not on the menu but the East Valley scramble with zucchini and spinach with a fresh blueberry starter is the most perfect breakfast ever!!! Say hello to Debbie 😀

Great, clean Mexican food. Try the Chili con queso with their homemade corn tortillas, they are amazing. I also really love the Mamas Salad, you can add chicken, shrimp or steak.
They also have a great outdoor space with a counter that is lovely way to people watch.

Beach
My very favorite beach. I love to walk here regularly, when the tide is low you can walk to the pier in Santa Barbara and back easily. Dogs are welcome and dog owners are respectful and pick up after their fur babies.
Easy free parking too.

I absolutely love this walk, it is a short walking trail that is somewhat shaded with oak trees and mostly flat. Some great photo ops.
