I had a lovely stay, but was not aware that the beach sand contains tar. I had to use hotel towels and body oil to remyif from my feet. Then I was charged for those towels. There should be a guest notice regarding the beach tar so guests can be prepared. My intention was to enjoy the beach, not have tar stick to my feet that then ruined the towels I had to use. Paper towels did not work. I had to ask the park ranger how to remote tar

Cute Inn by the highway
Super cute little Inn! We absolutely loved our short stay! The road noise was horrible, I feel terrible for this tiny town. The staff was less than friendly but interaction was minimal.

Beautiful ocean view and walk to gorgeous beach with sea lions and dolphins and cliffs and birds. Very few people walking dogs. A few miles long and great for a run. Rooms beautiful and no issue with noise. Continental breakfast was delicious especially the bacon and eating outside. Will definitely stay there again!!

We didn’t stay because it’s right next to the freeway and very noisy. We went somewhere else.
