We used to frequent this spot often when Joe and Lauren both lived in Ventura County. We'd often go just before sunset and sit on the rocks. Sometimes we'd be lucky enough to see some seals, one that we occasioned to nickname Sammy the Seal.
If you're someone from California who has since left the area, or is from out-of-town and like to savor "local flavor", you can't miss In N Out. It is a staple for Joe every time he ventures down towards California, and has always been one of our favorite places. It's also great if you're out late and want a quick, good bite, as they are open till 2am even day.
