The BookMark

A roomy, shaded courtyard your kid can wander while you finish your coffee. Leashed dogs share it, so keep an eye out.

Surf lessons and paddleboarding, with a surf camp for kids 6 to 17 who can swim and a beach eco camp for ages 5 to 12.

Kids can put together their own pizza before it goes in the oven. Ask when you order, since it isn't always on.

Frozen custard with a flavor of the day and mix-ins, and the kid scoop is a proper size. Less than a block from the beach.

House-made gelato and chocolates in one shop, so your kid gets a scoop and you get a chocolate.

A kids' room with books, puzzles and storytimes for babies to five-year-olds, a good rainy-day hour.
