A
Pier 39
With the notable exception of sea lions gleefully belching after fish dinners at Pier 39, most piers are packed with landlubbers attempting to digest sourdough-bread bowls of gloppy clam chowder (don't bother: it can't be done).

Duarte’s Tavern
But the best reason to come to Pescadero is Duarte’s Tavern, a country-style diner in the heart of town, serving classic Americana blue-plate home cooking. The same family has run the place for three generations, and the James Beard Foundation named their little linoleum-floored restaurant an American Classic. The menu lists chops, steaks, deep-fried seafood, good sandwiches and the usual burgers, but it’s the fresh-fish dishes (such as fried sand dabs and cioppino), homemade berry pies with flaky crusts, and rich meaty pan gravies that really win our vote.

Swanton Berry Farm
South of Año Nuevo on the inland side, look for Swanton Berry Farm, 2 miles north of Davenport, where in spring and summer you can pick the Bay Area’s best organic strawberries or pop into an old-fashioned un-manned farmstand for flats of berries, berry pie, strawberry lemonade and hot chocolate – leave your money in the little box. Families gather at the picnic tables on the grassy lawns. This is old-school Northern California at its very best.

Pescadero Creekside Barn
If you’re compelled to stay in Pescadero, we love the one-room Pescadero Creekside Barn, a turn-of-the-century, 2nd-floor hay loft that’s been converted into a cozy, romantic hideaway for two, with a clawfoot soaking tub in the corner and big barn doors opening to the street below.

Sam’s Chowder House
In the tradition of big Cape Cod waterside fish houses, Sam’s makes a mean bowl of chowder, whole steamed crab (in season), traditional lobster-clambake with all the fixins, and a knockout lobster roll – to find better, fly to Maine. There’s a full bar and great ocean views.

Barbara’s Fish Trap
Generations of families come to this ramshackle harborside seafood shack with checked tablecloths, fresh-fish specials, fish and chips and a near-constant line out the door. Always good, never great.
