I've stopped there twice on a trip with family, so it wasn't a long visit but it's so nice.
This has got to be a huge change from New York though. There's some awesome sushi places, and they do a good taster dish for people new to sushi, and there's a lovely place in Newport Beach with so many fresh dishes. They have the best shrimp cocktail.
Yes, you defo should! And slowly work putting on sunscreen into your daily routine :)
