Open 8am - 8 pm Quite the hip little general store! Delicious, organic junk food as well as some staples: milk, cheese, bread, kombucha, canned goods, chips, gourmet popcorn, and great espresso coffees! A decent wine selection... and caramel soft-serve!

Neighborhoods

We are a tiny little seaside and surf village - not yet upscale, but heading towards trendy. Visit Dillon Beach while it's still a relatively down to earth place.

City advice

What to pack

You won't need heels.

Dillon Beach and surrounds is very down to earth. Nothing fancy to dress for here. Just flip-flops and sneakers for hiking.
What to pack

Bring layers & a jacket!

The weather at Dillon Beach, even in mid summer, is changeable day by day, and hour by hour. Bring layers, from bathing suit, to a light down parka. Bring a hat and scarf for chilly evenings when the fog rolls in.
What to pack

Bring a beanie and a scarf

Morning and afternoon fog rolls in most days. And the wind can pick up. You'll appreciate this, promise!
What to pack

Wet Suit if you have one

If you have a wet suit, you'll appreciate it. The Pacific ocean never warms up much.
Getting around

If you're a biker, bring a bike!

There are gorgeous roads to bike throughout the whole region!
