This is a hidden gem for hikers, a 40-acre community park. The view of Pillar Point Harbor from Quarry Park's Vista Point is amazing. The 2 mile round trip hike to Vista Point is particularly recommended for its spectacular view on sunny days of Pillar Point Harbor.

Ebb Tide Cafe is located in the little town of Miramar overlooking the majestic Pacific via their lovely open patio. They offer freshly baked goods including gluten-free and great coffee concoctions. This is a great area to stroll. If you walk a bit south you'll hook up directly with the Coastside Trail which is great for dog walking, people walking, cycling, jogging...you name it...gorgeous ocean views.
