Rooms a bit outdated but location is great. Front desk guy very friendly and helpful. Would have been nice to have some Kleenex in the room ;-)

Food was superb. The employees were so attentive and very serviceable. This was a business stay so didn’t get the chance to enjoy the amenities. Did manage to squeeze in a hike the shortest trail of the 3 they offer. Breathtaking views especially after rainy day.

Natural Bridges State Beach
Sitting under a sea cave with my little one at Shark Fin Cove. A picturesque beach with stunning views of Northern California's stunning coastal landscape. During low tide, you can explore all kinds of sea creatures in the tide pools and if you're lucky, you can spot humpback whales during their migration season. There is a small parking lot by a discontinued railroad track where you can park your car and walk across to the beach entrance. It can be a bit steep and slippery at times so wear good shoes! #Adventure #beautifulplaces #familytime #memories #discoveries #exploring #withchildren #nature #outdoors #lanscape #northerncalifornia #beaches #usa #sharkfincove #davenport #santacruz
