The impressive California State University campus adds youthful energy to this North County gem. After a round of golf, sample local IPAs at the city's surprisingly numerous craft breweries where bartenders discuss hop varieties with evangelical fervor. For outdoor enthusiasts, Montiel and San Elijo Hills dog parks provide scenic spots to stretch legs – canine or otherwise. Lucky Strike and Regal Edwards deliver entertainment options when the rare rainy day appears, though locals insist such weather is merely a rumor.
