The Neighborhood:

The property is just a short beach block (cross one street that divides the peninsula) from the ocean boardwalk and pier and around the block from the 19th St Bay Beach at Marina Park. We are within walking distance of many restaurants offering a variety of fare. Enjoy Mexican cuisine, seafood (including the famous Crab Cooker two blocks away, The Cannery, Flying Fish, and Blue Water Grill), Italian, Sushi, and several fine dining restaurants such as Oceanfront, Nobu, Cannery, the NEW Palmilla, and The Dock.



We are in a quieter location on the bay side. There is plenty of activity including renting paddle boards and kayaks around the corner to be delivered on the Marina Park Bay beach one street over. No schlepping!!



Summer recreation camps available on beach.



From the moment you walk through the door, you will feel "at home" - and maybe a little pampered at the beach.



Getting Around:

There are plenty of cabs, car rentals, bike rentals, Uber, and Lyft. We are located close to restaurants and shops so there is plenty to walk to. During the summer, the city has a free open air trolley that runs on the peninsula.



Other Things to Note:

Bring your fishing poles! The main pier is for fishing and our small dock is for loading/unloading passengers. There are electric and motor boats for rent at the Pavilion. And there`s a great tot lot on our beach.
