One of my favorite hiking spots. lots of trails to choose from. if you go at the right time of year you can see otter pups in the bay with their parents. there's also historical whaling cabin and information on the canning industry and the people who lived here during that time period.

Skip Barber racing school anyone? oh boy is that on my bucket list. you probably already know about the awesome races that happen out at the track maybe why you're already staying with me. Just in case you don't Laguna Secs is a lot of fun and if you can't get there on this trip you'll have to come back and visit. also note that race weekends fan cause quite the traffic situation so keep that in mind as you explore the area.

Love it here. I was perfectly raised on the wharf my grandparents founded Abalonetties restaurant. lots of food shops and whale watching tour opportunities, plus you never know who you meet down there.

Lovely place to walk, jog, bike, skate or just be outside with loved ones or solo. You can rent tandem bikes, pass right alongside Cannery Row, walk from the Wharf to the beaches or anywhere in between. there are so many things off of the bike trail you almost have too much to choose from.
