A really nice place to take a walk. There are several different paths you can take and none of them are too intense, it's mostly flat with a few mild hills here and there. Great place for birdwatching, so bring binoculars if you have them. Close enough to the ocean where it starts pretty cool, even on hot days but it never gets to cold. Closes kind of early, at 5.

Boat trip on the slough with Elkhorn Slough Safari. Excellent viewing and commentary by the naturalist. Sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, pelicans and lots of other birds. Later we drove up to the visitor center and saw more birds and had great views.
