This area has a good fish and Spanish restaurants and places to rent boat, kayaks, canoes and surfboards for surfing or baddle-boarding. Moss Landing also has a pontoon boat tour up the estuary ($43 for Adults/$40 for seniors & $33 for kids) You can also go Whale Watching. Our favorite operator is "Sanctuary" since they use smaller boats and runs on biodiesel ($75 for adults/ $65 for kids for 2.5 hours @8am, $95 for adults /$85 for kids for 3.5 hours @ 11:30). The "Sea Goddess" is cheaper ( Main deck is $65 for adults/ $40 for kids, upper deck $85 for adults/$60 for kids) @ 9:30 am, 12:30 or 3:30 but it is a bigger boat with more people and harder to see everything. You must have booked these whale watching in advance.

Excellent area for your own awe-inspiring hiking among the redwoods. This is a great area for nature walks in the woods. There are many hikes you can take which are clearly marked. It will cost a parking fee as all States require, but it is well worth it. This is a real nature get-a-way.

This is a very quaint, small town, but well equipped with restaurants, food shopping, pharmacy, banks, etc. It is the closest area to get essentials except if you want to go to Watsonville main street which is good as well. (See Watsonville)
