Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountain Range, this locale is known for its forested headlands and miles of pristine sand. Your family will want to hang out on the beach, where you can go horseback riding, search tide pools for sea creatures, or rent a three-wheeled funcycle. In the spring, spot gray whales from the cliffs or on a boat tour. And don't miss the famous Kite Festival in late April: Kids can see professionals perform tricks or they can take part in workshops, a kite parade, a sand-castle contest, and more.
