Sightseeing

Must-see because it's so close, but parking is a pain so go early. Even when you go and there is a "parking lot full" at the front gate, you may be able to pay and drive through the park to the various parking lots further in, and you may find parking along the hiking trails.

Must see if you have time, and don't get dizzy with windy streets. People drive pretty fast, so if you want to sight see, pull over at the lookout points. There are great restaurants and the 2 state parks are amazing.

Food scene

We loved this restaurant and have been going for the past 18 years. But, recently they have been rising prices more and more, so this may be a bit over priced. Amazing wine menu though...

Great place to have lunch after a walk on Ocean Beach. They have indoor and outdoor dining options. We have tried their burger, sandwiches, sand dabs, and sauvignon blanc.

Carmel Point Beach NOT for swimming

The surf can be strong, so do not swim here. Go to Ocean Beach if you like to play in the water, or go to the River.
