If you want food at any hour of any day, this is a great place. The food is good, it's made hot, and they are open 24 hours. We go here every time we are in the area.
This is a moderate hike with a short rock to climb at the end. It is worth the view.
It's kind of middle of nowhere, but you do a very short walk and a tiny hike down to the beach (short but steep) and it's absolutely gorgeous when you get down there. The hike back to the car is much worse.
I have not been here, but my family went while I was going to school at Cal Poly Humboldt. It's a cute small zoo. The free park right next to the zoo is really nice too.
Beautiful hike, covered in ferns (duh), and they filmed some of The Lost World: Jurassic Park there.
