Food Scene
This is THE quintessential 70's SoCal beach cafe! All open air with simple outdoor seating right across from a small sand beach filled with a mix of surfers, families and beach lovers. Just sitting here for an hour and hanging out evokes the Old California beach vibe largely lost but still found in little gems like this place...enJoy!

This is a jewel of a neighborhood coffee shop! Some unique offerings with a slightly different flair. Tammy and Ro make it a point to say hello. It’s great having a small local shop that cares. Mahalo & enJoy!

30 year old standby for Mexican cuisine with a signature grilled chicken dish plus much more. Great fast casual place to grab a bite to eat with the family. The outside fire pits are very relaxing.

Essentials
Definitely a hidden gem. Service is nice and they carry local items. Store is small but well stocked and prices range from fair to pricey, but given that it is small organic, local health food store they have to charge a bit more. Great little gem. Prices are still affordable for organic, healthy food.

Parks & Nature
Buena Vista became California's first ecological reserve in 1969. The lagoon offers sanctuary to many species. It is located on the annual migration route known as the Pacific Flyway, and millions of birds pass through during migrations. More than 100 bird species, 18 mammals, and 14 amphibians and reptiles live in and around the lagoon. More than 230 types of birds have been spotted there, including the California Quail, Vermillion Flycatcher and the Great Blue Heron. The lagoon may be viewed from the tranquility of Maxton Brown Park on Laguna Avenue and State Street, the Ecological Wildlife Viewing Area on Jefferson Street and Marron Road, or the Buena Vista Audubon Society.
