10 minute drive from The Villa. These tacos are AMAZING! So delicious! Right next to a local favorite bar - The Hotsy Totsy. Sometimes you have to wait a while for your food because there can be a line but it is so worth it!

A great little local thrift spot! You can often find some well preserved vintage items here. And if you are in the mood for a jigsaw puzzle they always have a stack for about $1!

A 10-20 minute drive from The Villa (depending on which entrance you go to.) Amazing hiking with views all across the Bay Area. Some trails quite steep and totally worth it! Cows are often grazing on the trails.

A 10 minute drive from The Villa. Locally referred to as "The Marina" this is a beautiful place for a stroll and look out across the water to San Francisco. Always windy so be sure to bring a jacket. But the wind also brings out the kite flyers of all sizes.
