The Lampton Cliffs Country Park is around 10 minutes by car from the inn, while the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve is nearly 15 minutes away by car. At the Sea Otter Inn Cambria you'll be 650 m from San Simeon Pines Seaside Resort.

Eat & Drink
Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill serves American dishes and lies a few steps from Sea Otter Inn.
Leisure & Business
The lovely hotel features a hot tub near an outdoor swimming pool.
“I think that the picnic-basket breakfast delivery is a lovely touch, and the access to Moonstone Beach Boardwalk makes this an ideal spot for a relaxed family vacation. I especially appreciate the thoughtful extras like the multiple outdoor fire pits and the pet-friendly policy. The hotel's proximity to Hearst Castle and the Paso Robles wine country just adds to its appeal.”
