If you're headed out for a late bite, Lalla's may be the only place still open. Great martinis and full menu. Or Denny's after hours...

Shopping

Get out on the water! See the bay close up! MBK has been doing it for a long time and has a great location if you just want to paddle around the marina. And they do stand up paddleboards too.
