Tips from locals
Stop by the Ocean Institute to learn about California’s maritime history or go on a whale watching expedition!
The tidepools are great for little ones, the Institute is interesting and there is a small beach next door. You can also access the harbor with lots of restaurants and cool shops.
Great outing with the kids and visit the Pirates ship and landing! Go behind the Institute for a great view of our rocks and cliffs.
