On-Site Dining

The on-site Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette serves New American cuisine using seasonal, ingredient-driven dishes from the Central California Coast. Guests can order room service breakfast by hanging a card on the door the night prior for delivery in a picnic basket. The restaurant also offers a special menu for dogs.

Wellness & Recreation

The Renewal Studio & Spa provides holistic wellness treatments, and guests can join guided nature walks and beach yoga sessions on weekends. The outdoor heated swimming pool, hot tub, and fitness classes are available on-site. Bicycle rental and walking tours allow guests to explore the coastal scenery.
