We cooked at our campsite most of the trip, but for some meals, we just wanted a local bite.
Our magical food tour began.
“Magical Mystery Tour” — The Beatles, 1967
Duckie’s Farm Market
It’s a grab-and-go spot right at the entrance to The Depot Travel Park, and we never skipped it. we went back twice for the old-fashioned rice pudding.
Bella Vida Café
It’s just down the road from the campground and has outdoor seating with a stay awhile vibe. The menu is full of earthy type food and comes out hot. Breakfast, lunch and dinner meals are all equally appetizing. One of the favorite’s was the Richie’s Fish Burrito with portions large enough to bring back for campsite leftovers. Louie soaked up the attention from the staff, but mostly just wanted to chase the squirrels—or eat our meal.
Westside Market
A quick bike ride from the campsite and dog-friendly, which meant Louie got to tag along. This place became our unofficial kitchen for delicious prepared meals. The chicken marsala and market-made meatballs were a few of our favorite picks. The staff was so helpful and shared some favorites for us to try. We also kept going back for the walnut chocolate chip brownies. They were that good!
HOT DOG TOMMY’S
“Best hotdog by the beach.” It's True. Never had a better chili cheese dog.
Taco Caballito
A new find right across from the beach. We stopped during our bike ride and ordered tacos to go, but they looked and smelled too good to wait. We sat on a bench and unwrapped them right there. Strangers stopped to meet Louie, and we ended up talking for a while—where they were from, how long they’d been coming to this charming town.
The Rusty Nail
it’s a fun place right near the beach With outdoor seating, a sandy fire pit circle, and music drifting from the bar. While we didn’t make it here on this trip, we remembered the last we were there. Louie and a rowdy dachshund traded side-eyes. not a full-on bar fight, but we still laugh about that standoff.
