I like the Franciscan Inn on Bath Street. It's nothing fancy, but it's clean and comfortable. It's walking distance to the beach. Right down the street on Cabrillo is an Italian restaurant Emilio's, which is quite good. Joe's on State has good cocktails.

I highly recommend the Bay Cafe. They have delicious food (seafood, etc.) and great service!

OK - what are you calling "Inexpensive"? One person's inexpensive could be someone else's outrageous. What is your budget?

Also what night of the week - can make a major difference . . . . .
