The valley region includes many of the services important to travelers. Some of the services include accommodations, gas stations, tours, guides, a marina, gift stores, restaurants, banks, big box stores, art galleries, museums, campgrounds, theatre, post offices, laundromats and more.

The mountain and ocean landscape is ideal for many year round activities. During the summer golfing, kayaking, horseback riding, boating, mountain biking, scuba diving, beachcombing, cycling, fishing, hiking, birdwatching and sailing are popular.
