    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    The central business district places hotels, shopping, and transit within a compact, convenient area. Coastal and outlying industrial districts sit further out and generally suit visitors with specific business there rather than general sightseeing.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    Coastal parks and cliffside walking paths are especially pleasant in the milder spring and autumn months. The city's industrial harbor gives it a distinct character worth exploring for those interested in maritime and manufacturing history.
