All the general touristy stuff is worth doing as it’s all quick and interesting! We stayed a couple days in the city and then almost a week in a tiny tiny group of houses a short walk from the beach just outside of Isabella and enjoyed the quiet. Isabella is basically an 80s tourist town that is now unpopular, perfect for my trip.

Other than that, if the Airbnb price near the city is too good to be true.. avoid it :) not everywhere has recovered well! You can pack light and just buy most of what you need at Walmart also. Very easy and approachable trip.
