Things To Do

We can’t wait to discover what part of us speaks to you – whether it’s tasting a new cuisine, embracing your inner artist, or one-upping your greatest outdoor adventure, there’s a trail here waiting just for you.

Here, handcrafted is a way of life from our farmers markets to our local coffee to our small-batch beer, wine, and spirits.

Get rejuvenated by nature on a hike or, for the more adventurous, paddle boarding in the bay. Then take in the creativity and culture that exudes through not only our shops, entertainment, and nightlife, but also the people.
