So much to do….

Historic buildings and tons of lovely locally-owned shops and restaurants. Situated on the bay you can rent a paddle-board, electric bike, kayak, or take a cruise on the Madeket. Just walk around and sight-see, if you prefer. Take a horse-drawn carriage through town. Eureka is a 7 minute drive away.
