A dramatic and quirky '60s-modern seaside inn that has been refurbished into a luxury lodge. The rustic architectural shell is stunning, and a duet of tinkling piano and crackling fire fills the vast open-plan lobby. Rooms have fireplaces and balconies or terraces. Prices vary according to the views. The Coast Kitchen restaurant offers a menu of well-prepared Californian cuisine.
Even those who don’t bunk here should wander agape in the shadow of Benny Bufano’s 93ft peace statue, a spectacular totem on the edge of the sea.
