how would you spend a perfect day in your own town? sometimes I think I could write a million versions of that perfect day here. there is so much to see, soak in and enjoy, and at the same time I could easily wing it completely and know that in this town you are never too far away from natural and architectural beauty, delicious california cuisine, or a dang good cocktail. and whether you live here or visit, that’s pretty incredible.

so when the opportunity arises, and fate gifts me a blissful eight hours to experience this town to my heart’s desire, I try to spend it weaving through this city’s gems one beach, one walk, one sunny patio at a time.

here’s an itinerary I would dream up first…

morning

afternoon

evening
