Food Scene
Vega is our favorite place and has very good Italian food. On Wednesdays, wine bottles are half-price. Tuesdays are kids’ night, and can get loud! Everything is declicious, but we are partial to the lamb and polenta, with Buttermilk panna cotta for dessert.

Great view of Golden Gate Bridge! From there you can follow a trail up the hill and along the coast to the Bridge. It's also good to know that the northernmost part of the beach is often occupied by nudists.
