THE BEST breakfast around. This place is only open until 3pm, so it only serves breakfast and lunch. Gets very crowded on the weekend, but it's HUGE so the line moves relatively quickly.

Adorable and historic diner with super amazing service and food. My daughter likes this place because it looks like something out of the Flintstones, but built in the 60's. Love it!

Literally across the street and out of the front door. Offers not only donuts, but breakfast sandwiches. If you don't like my instant coffee, this is your answer!

Parks & Nature

Free during the week, and $5/car on the weekends. Tons of hiking trails, 3-4 playgrounds, a duck pond, etc. Adorbz! Great views of the city that you can drive or hike to.

This is our closest beach (10-15 minutes in the car). GREAT for sunset walks (also access to bike trail). Not the cleanest of the beaches for a day's worth of swimming, so we can make other recommendations for those days. Also wonderful b/c they have LOADS of firepits for evening bonfires.

Cool skateboarding park, playground, and public pool (summer months only). Also has a public library, should you need it.

If you don't have TJ's where you live, you gotta try one. Best pre-prepared dinners and snacks. Basic Groceries too. Affordable booze and wine.

If we're going downtown for a large event and don't want to pay for expensive parking, we drive and park (for free) at this metro station. They just opened this line to go to Santa Monica beach pier as well if you go the opposite direction.
