Each room provides towels and fresh linens. Access to a shared bathroom is provided for all rooms at HI Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel.

Restored by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with the Coast Guard, HI Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel offers access to the coastline and wildlife viewing. Watch annual gray whale migration from November through April.

The location was exceptional. It was an amazing opportunity to stay at a lighthouse . I was a bit worried due to the communal nature of the hostel but it was fine and mostly felt quite private. Very clean and well stocked.

Harbor View Inn is located across from Pillar Point Harbor in El Granada, California. Guests can enjoy Pacific Ocean views, explore the local beaches or take in the sights along California's coastline.

Great location for people who pass by Half Moon Bay, right on the road. A couple of great restaurants nearby (La Costanera for dinner, The Press for Breakfast). The rooms are really nice and cozy.

Featuring luxury toiletries, a bathrobe and heated terracotta floors, each room at Cypress Inn on Miramar Beach offers a featherbed. Free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite TV are included.

Before heading to the beach, guests can enjoy breakfast in the privacy of their room. A hot dish, baked goods as well as juice, tea and coffee are provided. Wine and appetizers are served every evening.

Awesome location, very quiet and we were totally spoiled, especially since we were there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The staff were amazing, the view and sound of waves from balcony peaceful, and the bed was so comfortable! Plus a full breakfast made to order each morning was most appreciated! Thankyou, and we hope to see you again someday!

    We liked the spacious room, which is on the second floor and face forward to the ocean, and let us enjoy the beauty of sunset on the balcony. The location is also great, only a few minutes to the harbor to grab some food. Debby, at front desk, was very charming and keened to help, gave us restaurant choice recommend by local people, and the dishes did taste great! Thank you! Very willing to stay again next time!

    Huge room, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and great location - right on the highway, five minutes from a beautiful beach and just a short drive to SFO. Free on-site parking and a great breakfast selection too.
