Came here to celebrate my fiance's birthday. We started at Andrias. Andrias has the best fish n chips hands down!!. Their clam chowder... Not so much. It was more of a potato chowder than anything else. Food came quick and it was hot! We loved that. We will definitely come back.

Next we took a stroll down the harbor... very nice views, ran into some nice people and we ended up at the channel islands information center where we just made the 5pm closing time. The ladies at the front desk we're so nice and helpful even though they were about to close. They even let us go up to the look-out tower for a few minutes. Right before we left, one of the ladies stayed behind to indulge us with some very interesting information about the sights... Very impressed with their customer service!

We then walked down to the beach and made our way back to Andrias... Wow! The beaches are beautiful with Soft clean sand. The water was not as cold as we expected. We were very pleasantly surprised.

Next we stopped by and got soft serve "mermaid" ice cream at coastal cone. Yummy! Surprised by how generous the small portion was...for only $5.50!!!

Finished our day at Boatyard Pub with some live acoustic entertainment and a beer.

Only complaint: During our day trip, we were excited to learn that it was a special Wednesday Summer event with local businesses offering day specials on food, drinks, dessert... discounts, etc... but when we inquiried with said businesses...no one seemed to know what we were talking about. We were a little confused.

But other than that, we had a great time. And we will definitely come back.
