Wonderful little spot for a special hamburger or mushroom sandwich, homemade chips, soups etc. I highly recommend eating at this little caboose on Highway 1. From Zagat: Chef Scott Clark (Saison, Benu) keeps things casual at this Cal-American comfort food spot serving a slim menu of well-priced sandwiches, mac and cheese, and sweets.

This is a great place for breakfast with a local feel. The huevos rancheros are good! After breakfast you can stroll up the pier where fisherman sell fish and crab from their boats.

If you have a hankering for tacos or a burrito, I highly recommend Happy Taco. It's the best taqueria on the coast!

Shopping

I recommend this grocery store focused on natural products. It also has an on-site juice bar & deli, as well as a good fish and meat counter.

Great hiking trail for seeing the redwoods. Starts at the coast and goes all the way up to Skyline Blvd, if your adventurous. But you don't have to take it all the way up. It's nice to walk along the creek and experience the quiet of a redwood forest.
