With pool tables and craft beer and a tasty menu this is a great place to hang out on a weekday or weekend night. There is a full menu, but we like to go for foosball.

In n Out Burger is nothing fancy, but it is one of the best fast food burgers I've had. Fries - meh. I like my burger protein style animal style and a neapolitan shake. Bring with you to Karl Strauss!

Just a half mile from home, and a great open space for your kids and pets. There are sometimes events in the park. A great place to exercise with stretching spots along the way.

The Hotel Del Coronado is perhaps most commonly referred to for the Mariyn Monroe film "Some Like it Hot," and its epic Christmas tree in December, but it is also an interesting old hotel just to go in and see something that still retains old Victorian charm next to the Ocean.
