It's difficult to sum up this collection of properties dispersed throughout Jenner - some are
in fairly deluxe ocean-view cottages with kitchen and ready-to-light fireplaces, others are
small and upland near a creek. All have the furnishings of a stylish auntie from the early

; 10439 Hwy 1; sandwiches $10-13; )
This is the kind of North Coast coffee shop you've been dreaming of: fresh pastries, fog-

patio and gypsy sea-hut decor make it hard to leave.

Unwind in style at this picture-perfect restaurant, perched on a cliff overlooking the river's
mouth and the grand sweep of the Pacific Ocean. It serves world-class meals at world-
