Local dive bar with beach volleyball court that sees lots of activity. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are pretty typical of a beach bar. Fun place to just hang with friends and drink cheap beers. Not for kids and smoking allowed inside, although, the windows and doors are usually also wide open so you can watch the matches from inside, too.

Small, local park with an easy trail and some of the oldest oak trees in the state. Great for a healthy stroll with some shade and only five minutes from the house.
