Food Scene

Cat Vosper and her husband Barrett (a great ceramics artist in the Gaudi style) are excellent hosts, the Spanish style restaurant menu is excellent (they have won numerous awards), the location looks across the vineyard to the ocean and we enjoy the overall feel of the establishment. You will need to either drive or take a taxi to Casita Miro. Taxi probably costs about $20.

Sightseeing

At the top of the drive turn left up Palm Rd. If you turn left at the next intersection you follow Hill Rd around the valley can can easily find your way back to the beach and shop in 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively turn right up Hill Rd, follow the road for 15 minutes or so to the lookout and take the path out onto the headland and down into Little Palm Beach. Walk along the beach and when you come to the end of the houses you can walk up to the store and Arcadia Restaurant at the bus stop. This loop take 40 minutes to an hour and I recommend walking shoes.
