Might as well get you a biscuit from Beaching Biscuits and head down to the beach. This sausage biscuit comes slathered with honey butter.

Soak away in mineral hot springs under the trees. You’ll have to hike up the hills to Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort in Avila Beach which features tub rentals by the hour.
