Check the paper in the entrance for the feeding times. That's the best time to see the critters active.
The Best Cheese on the West Coast!!! Go on the Tour and get as many Cheese Samples as possible! Also get the Incredible Ice Cream if you have time.
Runs a bit on the expensive side, really only worth admission the first time you visit. If you don't plan on reading anything and just want to walk through cool exhibits, skip it.
Get a wax mold of your hand in the gift shop. Even better, make a great memory with a mold of you holding hands with your significant other.
Great place, great food… but often a huge line during the summer and on weekends. Be prepared to wait.
Beautiful Beach, but more known that many others so therefore often more crowded. On Holiday Weekends, you may not even be able to see the sand it is so crowded with people. Can also get very windy!
Check by the coupon wall to pick up some useful coupons for all sorts of fun stuff around the city.
Check out Haystack Rock sticking 235 feet out of the water and the tidal pools near it filled with orange and purple starfish. But don’t forget a wetsuit—water temps rarely exceed 60ºF in the summer.
Pick up a bundle of firewood, a day old newspaper, and some matches at the Mazanita Grocery store. Perfect beach bonfire. S'mores and beer optional.
Parking can be tough to come by on Summer Weekends, so be prepared to drive around the loop a few times or park further away.
Great secluded beach, just be careful not to wander into the parts of it that are private unless you are staying at the places that have those parts of the beach available.
