Southern California Beach Front Hotels
This directory of Southern California beach front hotels covers the coastal towns of Santa Barbara, San Diego, Ventura, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, La Jolla, Newport Beach and Laguna Beach.
When choosing a hotel for your beach vacation, most people's top choice would be one right on the sand. That is, if money were no object. The closer to the water, the pricier the hotels often get, if you are comparing hotels to hotels, motels to motels and resorts to resorts.
An ocean front hotel means sleeping to the sound of the surf, taking evening walks on the sand, or sitting with your morning coffee gazing at the waves rolling in.
There are a few things to keep in mind when booking one of the Southern California beach front hotels. Some of these might matter to some people but not to others. Some questions to ask:
Is it right on the sand or across the street?
Am I getting a room facing the sea or facing the highway on the other side of the hotel?
Is there an actual ocean view from the room in question?
Is there a path to the beach or is the hotel on a bluff above a rocky cove with no access?
Is the beach used mostly by hotel guests or heavily used by the public?
Do you provide beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards?
