Blue Dolphin Inn
Right on Moonstone Beach, the Blue Dolphin Inn is an upscale bed and breakfast with well-appointed rooms, high-end service and some oceanfront rooms. Unlike the usual community breakfast at most inns, the Blue Dolphin delivers breakfast to your room, so you can enjoy it on the patio or even the beach. Beds are exceptionally comfortable, linens crisp, and the beds are double-sheeted. Sea lions and other wildlife may be seen from the inn's patio or the beach.

Silver Surf Motel
While not a luxury accommodation, the Silver Surf Motel is a little piece of old Americana squeezed between high-end and chain lodging properties on the Central Coast. Guest rooms are simple with no frills, but there is a pool and hot tub area for guest use. Front-desk staff is quite helpful and the motel is a short drive to the Hearst Castle, the beach or Cambria proper. Free wireless access.
