If you want to see what California looked like before it was developed then you have to see Jalama beach. It's an hour and a half drive up the coast but the windy road through untouched California hillsides make the drive worth it. Amazing waves for the more advanced surfer can be found here but it can be quite windy so check the conditions before you commit to a day trip. There's no cell service for the last 30 min or so of the drive but once you reach the campground there is wifi available. Be sure to get a Jalama burger at the general store. They are legendary!

A quick walk to the Douglas Family Preserve is our favorite sunset activity. Epic views of the coastline with trails through the eucalyptus trees. There are areas where dogs can run off leash so keep your eye out for friendly pups.
