Best Westerns along the California Coast

After our recent getaway in San Diego our family drove up the California Coast to Los Angeles and then Santa Barbara. Along the way, we noticed several Best Westerns sitting right on the coast, overlooking the sparkling Pacific Ocean.

Here are a few of those:

BEST WESTERN PLUS The Inn at Marina del Rey is a swanky boutique-style hotel that's minutes from Venice Beach.

From the harbor side rooms at BEST WESTERN PLUS Sunrise Hotel at Redondo Beach Marina you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing and the sailboats rocking.

BEST WESTERN PLUS Blue Sea Lodge sits right on a sandy beach in San Diego.

BEST WESTERN Encinitas Inn & Suites at Moonlight Beach sits perched on a cliff above the ocean in Encinitas.

BEST WESTERN PLUS Inn by the Sea is two blocks from the beach in the pretty little village of La Jolla.

BEST WESTERN PLUS Beach View Lodge offers rooms with balconies overlooking the Pacific (photo above).
