Point Lobos State National Reserve: heaven on earth. It’s not a hike, but it’s a beautiful walk along the cliffs.

Brunch @ From Scratch
- French toast, eggs benedict, and huevos rancheros are the highlights!
Happy hour drinks @ Starlight 65 Rooftop Lounge

Dinner @ Dametra Cafe, one of my favorite restaurants of all time.

- Service is consistently really good
- Call (831) 622-7766 to make reservations

Refuge Spa: co-ed outdoor spa surrounded by nature. They use this system called the “Refuge Thermal Cycle” which is when you:
- “Heat up” in the sauna or eucalyptus infused steam room
- “Cool down” in an ice cold pool
- “Relax” in the hot tubs, by the fire pits, and relaxation rooms
- Repeat until you’re zen’d tf out :)
