California Beach Front Hotels
From four and five diamond AAA
resorts to budget properties at the
beach, California beach front hotels
offer a fantastic range of views,
locations, services and prices. The
California Beach frontage is a mix
of public and privately-owned lands
that include possibly 500 beach and
ocean view hotels.
Ranging from South San Diego County
- Imperial
Beach Seacoast Inn to northern
California's Del Norte County -
Crescent City Hampton Inn and
Suites, the beach front hotels range
in geographic terrain. Flat, sandy
beaches in the southern California
regions beginning in San Diego
slowly diminish in size and
eventually become small coves
beneath rocky cliffs that overlook
the ocean in the rugged redwood
growth north coast counties of Del
Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino and
Sonoma.
Believe it or not, the southern and
northern reaches of the state of
enjoy some affordable hotel rates
for the California beach front
hotels with prices we checked even
under $100 in the fall season of
November (with early booking, rates
not guaranteed).
So
the picturesque beauty and access to
the Pacific Ocean can be yours if just for
one day.
Of
note: Top tier California Beach
front hotel resorts include Montage
Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach, Ritz
Carlton resorts--The
Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay and
Ritz-Carlton,
Laguna Niguel, La Jolla's
Craftsman-style
Lodge at Torrey Pines on the PGA
ranked Torrey Pines Golf Course,
Bacara Resort
& Spa in
Santa Barbara, Casa Palmero at
Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish
Bay, The Lodge at Pebble Beach and
many more. We've stayed at some of
these properties or held banquets,
meetings and golf tournaments on
their golf courses and have enjoyed
their extreme resort feel. Meals and
amenities cost quite a bit and are
only recommended as special vacation
trips for budget travelers who want
to experience luxury.
If you
are concerned about money, there are
some fantastic, top-rated California
beach front hotels and resorts that
won't break the bank.
San Diego's
Catamaran
Resort Hotel,
Hilton Beach
and Tennis Resort, Paradise
Point Resort & Spa, Huntington
Beach's Hyatt Regency Resort and
Spa, Santa Monica's Shutters or Le
Merigot - A JW Marriott Beach Hotel
& Spa and many more offer location,
elegant accommodations and many of
the amenities available at other
properties.
Affordable California beach front
hotels offer the ocean view minus
the full service spa treatments and
extensive staffing you'll find at
the top tier
California beach resorts. These
are some of California's favorite
individual-traveler and
family-travel hotels at the beach.
Pictured above is one such example,
the Best Western Lighthouse Lodge in
Pacifica. We
love places such as this for their
location and restaurants you can
walk to where you can drink
cocktails and not have to drive at
night.
You
can spend $1000 or more per night,
or spend $100 or less per night on a
California beach front hotel room.
The pricing depends on the location,
the season and availability, plus
the hotel's ranking in quality and
services. While the choice is yours,
you'll enjoy the same ocean and
sunset views and that's at 50% of
why you booked your room in one of
California's preferred ocean front
hotels.
