Say Hello to the Birds in Pescadero
The Pacific Ocean has a unique ability to soothe away stress, and our first-day trip idea takes you to the Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve.

Duarte’s is a landmark along the Central Coast, and it boasts a James Beard Award for American Classic Restaurant 2003. Along with a changing menu of fresh fish and comfort food, locals and visitors alike adore the sense of friendly community present in Duarte’s.

Several hundred thousand people make the trek to Pinnacles each year to hike, explore talus caves, and appreciate the variety of wildlife living in the Park.
