This is Natalie's favorite hike - 365degree view of the ocean and the mountains to the back, the view just can't be beat! The hike is a little difficult at time, but no rock climbing needed.

There really isn't a place that is more beautiful that more mesa - and it's walking distance from the house! More mesa is a wild field with cris-crossing paths along it, you can walk all the way out to the ocean and walk along the cliff, with a field full of grass to one side backed by the mountains, and the ocean on the other, it really is a gorgeous walk. (Though if you take one of the paths down to the beach be forewarned - it's a nude beach down there.)

Great beer in a lesser known location - it's in the back of a warehouse, so you'll mostly find locals here. Great beer!

The Mission is really beautiful, and deserves at least a drive by. The Mission rose garden right across the street is full of gorgeous flowers and is quite lovely to walk through.
