Joyce Chen pioneered the scene, turning dumplings into “Peking ravioli” to win over American palates—and trained generations of chefs who spread the vibe statewide. This cuisine? A delicious

Avoid swimming near feeding seals, heed lifeguard warnings, and watch for purple flags with shark symbols. Swim in groups, avoid murky water, and steer clear of solo watercraft that might look like prey. Download the free Sharktivity app for real-time sightings. If
