Food scene
They have tasty seasonal local ciders to try from the local cider company- Ola Brewing
The food is delicious, and they stay open late in case you get back from the beach later in the day and do not feel like cooking :)

Gorgeous beach, great for boogie boarding. There’s some wind, and quite the trek down. Stay to the left and you’ll have an easier walk than if you walk down to the right.

Thai Massage
This was one of the best massages I have ever had! What an experience! They book fairly quickly, so I’d recommend scheduling before your trip. Oh and splurge for the 90 minute Thai Massage, you’ll thank me ❤️

Food shopping
Costco is the least expensive, but busy! Then Safeway, don’t forget they have $5 Fridays! Walmart is only a neighborhood market, not a super center, then the other stores tend to be more convenient but higher price point.

Picnics
Most airbnbs have coolers available, get picnic foods and ziplock bags to pack your own foods for the beach. Don’t forget lots of fresh water to drink!

Manta Ray Snorkel or Diving
These excursions book fairly quickly. Don’t fall for the Costco package, you’ll be on a small boat in the dark, and will get sick coming back after the event. Shop around, but you get what you pay for.

Rental Car
All of the local rental car companies have a long wait to pick up your car. We have found that Turo has been a better option for us.
