Stunning, stunning place on the West Coast, we love it here for holidays! Been going back every year! Lovely beaches, friendly people, stunning views and lots to see and do in the area. And you are only about 35 minutes away from the bright lights of the city if you feel the need - we never do :). LOVE, love love it here!!!!
