Actually no food, just great beer. You can buy pizza at the New York Pizza next door and eat at the Brewery. Walking distance from the house- straight down the hill in the same mall as Seaside Market.

Sightseeing
Great hiking, beautiful views of the ocean from the cliffs. Park at the bottom of the hill and hike up (restrooms on the east side of coast highway if you need them). You can also park at the top of the hill and walk back into the hiking trails. The Lodge at Torrey Pinks has a good place to grab a bite to eat and/or drink as well.

Easy place to rent a kayak or SUP and go down the street and into the water. Paddle over to the cliffs (don’t go into the caves but you can get close), see the seals, enjoy time on the water!
