Rode bikes down a great bike route, stopped their to eat and shop. Live music in weekends really livens up the area.
Great Place fun vibe, even on a Sunday places stay open late. We had dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. They allowed our puppy to dine with us.

There are some good, and not so good, restaurants here along with the usual tourist tee shirt shops and other assorted items. Something for everyone - or no one!
