For dining, we recommend Cafe Akari with its European feel, global cuisine, Wi-Fi access, excellent latte's, toys for toddlers and European feel. This Café is about five minute walk from the Tinker house and is a must stop for excellent and interesting food. For family fare, we recommend Dooger's Seafood & Grill, a local favorite, located near the go-carts. Four other restaurants nearby that we highly recommend are the Port  Bistro, the Depot Restaurant, 42nd Street Cafe and Jimella's Seafood Market (21712 Pacific Way, Klipsan, 360 665-4847).

Whatever you enjoy doing on your vacation, from curling up and reading your favorite book, to flying kites, playing games with the kids, or catching the latest movies, the Tinker house, with its location next to downtown Long Beach, has it all.
