Parks & Nature

Great walking/jogging route, cliff side ocean views, beautiful at sunrise or sunset. Look for dolphins, whales, and hang gliders! Off leash dog park, so be prepared for friendly pooches.

Also known as Hendry's Beach, try the Boathouse for a sit down dinner where you can watch the waves break and the sun set. If at Mesa Steps Beach, its about 1/2 mile walk to Arroyo Burro.
