Desserts
No one ever accused us of skipping dessert 😉
Joe Latti! It’s a mix of finely shaved ice and the creamiest soft serve you’ve ever had.

Amazing cake doughnuts. Do not skip this place. You can’t go wrong! Well actually, I avoid the Basil Eggs Benedict doughnut… but to each their own. 😆
The line here can get long, but goes fast and is worth it.

Such a fun beach to walk. Tunnel access from the parking lot under the freeway to the beach, or a bus for a small fee if you don’t want to walk it.

Conselhos sobre a cidade
Deslocar-se
Carless?
Uber and Lyft work great. If you’re hoping to walk everywhere, don’t. You’ll do better around here with a car. There are a couple walkable restaurants and there is a Starbucks, Target, and Smart-n-final (grocery store) within a 10-15min walk.
