We park at Crystal Cove State Parking lot and walk down the tunnel, which has paintings on it. We grab an open seat at the patio out back for snacks and then make our way to the beach.
Speakeasy restaurant in BlueGold at Pacific City Mall. It's Vietnamese food that you've never experienced before. Must eats are bo ne (steak with baguette, butter, pate and nuoc mam) and bo kho (vietnamese beef stew with baguette) and pho banh cuon (pho rolls).
