Surrounded by water, it makes sense that many enjoy visiting Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach for swimming and water sports. Visitors can also take in a picnic in the California sunshine or go for a bike ride along the beach's riding trail. Museum lovers can head to USS Hornet, a Sea, Air, and Space Museum that was once a WWII aircraft carrier and part of the Apollo 11 recovery mission. "The Island" has become popular among foodies with spots like East Ocean Seafood Restaurant, featuring Chinese food and dim sum as well as Cafe Jolie, a cozy diner with delicious comfort food for lunch and dinner.
