On the water and a great happy hour. During the summer months has an outdoor fish & chips order window. The best all-you-can-eat Saturday and Sunday brunch (crab legs!) but make reservations.

Great place to watch sea birds diving into the bay for fish. Don't leave any valuables in the secluded free parking lot but walk down the wide gravel trail to find a usually deserted calm beach. Great for SUP or a floatie.

Pay drive-through animal park where injured or retired movie animals live. Take carrots and the bison and elk will stick their whole head in your car and slobber all over you to get a carrot. Sneak a few marshmallows in and the bears will wave at you. In the summer months you can join walking tours.
