Great sunset spot! Note that this is a parking turnout on the point. The location of the dot is not correct.To find it, go to Crespi Pond and then keep driving about 300 yards on Ocean View toward the Pacific. Also a nice place to tide pool at low tide.

It's a chain restaurant with adequate Mexican food. Nothing too special. BUT...the views are really nice. We have watched otters, sea lions, and birds from this location. Good for families.
