The local guide
What we would do with a day here, if we were you.
Twenty years on this coast and we still find something new each week. Here is where we send our friends — the walks, the tables, and the small detours worth the drive.

A perfect day
How the light moves through a good day at the cove.
- 8:00
- Breakfast at the long table, then a coffee refill you carry out to the garden bench while the fog burns off.
- 10:30
- The bluff path to Marisol Point at low tide, then up to the lighthouse road for the long view north.
- 1:00
- Oysters and a glass of something cold at the harbour shack — ask for Marco and mention the house.
- 6:30
- Back to the porch for the sunset, a book from the sitting-room shelf, and the honesty bar's good vermouth.
The neighbourhood
Everything worth doing is within a short, unhurried reach.
The village square is five minutes on foot, the trailheads within a fifteen-minute drive, and the wine country an easy morning's loop. We keep bicycles, tide charts, and a shelf of dog-eared maps by the door for you to borrow.
