Totally random but delicious. Traditional southern food from shrimp & grits to fried green tomatoes. Live jazz some nights. Nicer sit down place but still casual and reasonably priced.

Great sunset views for happy hour or dinner on the pier. Good raw bar. There are better places for food, but you can't beat eating on the water.

Everything Else

Punchy beachbreak. Fun for shortboard/bodysurfing. Shortest dist from house - downhill there, uphill back. Not great for beginners but a nice place to just hang for the day or early AM beach walks!

The parking lot to get down to Trestles is right next to the Carl's Jr. You're on your own from here! :) It's no secret and is pretty much always crowded, but so are most world class waves.
