meates the area. Stop in to Café Gratitude for
organic, local, vegan and homemade soups
called, "I Am Thriving," fresh pressed juices like,
"I Am Powerful," and entrees such as "I Am
Transformed." Listen to street performers play
music on the sidewalks, wander into surf shops,
or grab a funky souvenir.
Nearby parks offer mountain biking and hik-
ing, or sign-up for a sailboat, whale-watching or
kayaking excursion. Wander down to the Wharf
for fresh-caught seafood as fishermen cast their
lines and sea lions slide through the waves
below. Enjoy live music, bites and drinks at The
Crow's Nest. Grab funnel cakes or even deep-
fried Twinkies (really!) on the Boardwalk. There's
something for all tastes in "Surf City, USA."
