Locally grown organic food, creatively prepared by imaginative chef. Everything's tasty but my special favorite is his Brussell Sprouts w/cheese & nuts - amazing!

Sightseeing

Besides lots of movie theatres, with first-run features, and a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and shops, there are street vendors, musicians and entertainers of all sorts. Very entertaining and unusual. A big tourist draw which locals frequent as well.

Parks & Nature

On a clear day, the sunsets over the ocean are spectacular! It's a very good time for a leisurely stroll through Palisades Park, above Pacific Coast Highway, or along the beach - which can be reached by foot over the bridge. In winter, the sun sets about 4:30pm.

A short drive up the Coast is the glorious Temescal Canyon, part of a National Park, which has great hiking trails - from a short walk to a 2.5 mile hike up to a waterfall (when there's been enough rain) and circle back with an awesome view of the ocean.

Drinks & Nightlife

Although not a nightclub, Ingo's is open late and features a great locally grown organic menu created by an imaginative chef. The crab cakes and Brussell Sprouts are awesome! Full bar, friendly wait staff and live jazz on Sat and Sun 11 to 2pm. Enjoy live music with your Eggs Benedict!
