Caroline Deng: This place is perfect, especially with its picnic area and scenic views. This beach in particular is known for its stacked rocks. Weekends can be crowded.

Caroline Deng: Grab the Magner's Hard Cider on tap, or a Long Island. They also have an interesting confessional booth which I imagine has quite a few interesting stories.
Caroline Deng: The shoe section is a hidden gem with some great styles if you look. Check out the LC by Lauren Conrad for flattering fits! Items are usually always "discounted", so keep this in mind before buying.
