On Riverside Ave, you can awaken your inner fiesta with delicious, fresh Mexican cuisine and a rooftop setting that allows you to take in the sunset while you take in the tequila. Not only that, but it’s a nice spot to hang out after the sun has set. What could be better than tasty burritos and a glorious setting sun over the city?

Get away from the city and fully immerse yourself in nature at Big Talbot Island. You’ll be snapping shots galore with your camera, especially at the local favorite: Driftwood boneyard. Picture this: a long stretch of beach strewn with fallen, massive Oak Trees that have been slowly salt eaten over time. It’s an absolutely beautiful and romantic setting for sunset with the one you love.
