Fresh fish from a local crew. Simple, clean, delicious. Try their grilled fish of the day or my favourite, the Shrimp PoBoy. Good with kids. Get there early as there is often a lineup in the evening

Great sushi for a date night. Not very large so it is tougher with kids, and menu isn't cheap, but great quality sushi. Sit at the bar and chat with the local sushi chefs.

My absolute favourite local spot. Stop for a quality coffee and a delicious freshly made pastry. Or sit on their back patio and enjoy a french style lunch-quick, baguette sandwiches, and salads are all great here!

A really great zoo with a twist. Animals are in larger enclosures and you can take a tram around their African exhibit where animals roam freely. Don't worry, you don't actually go into the animal area, so its plenty safe. Fun to see how different animals interact with each other.

Parks & Nature

great park within walking distance. Good playground, lots of green space, outdoor volleyball court, skate park, BBQs and picnic grounds. No public bathrooms. You do have to cross over the train tracks and there isn't a crosswalk unless you go all the way to La Costa or Leucadia, so please use extreme caution
