What's nearby

  • This image was taken at Swamis beach just north of San Elijo campgrounds. The tide was very low so it made for a perfect walk on the beach afternoon.

  • There are many things in life that are just not worth the effort. However when you have days like this one in Southern California makes everything effortless. But when taking this image I wasn't even interested in taking a picture because it was cold and windy. When I saw this surfer run out into the weather conditions I found the image I was looking for!

We have stayed here a few times now with our Jack Russell. So many guests have dogs here and you would never know it! They are more well beyond quieter than some guests! The staff are always incredible and this hotel is very clean. Breakfast is great also. We will stay here again when we return to the area.
