We were looking for a beach getaway and got exactly that! We flew in through SFO and drove 1.5hrs south on highway 1. We stopped to watch the wind surfers and take in the awesome views. We started each day with coffee on the beach (from Starbucks 15min away or from the on-site lobby that opens at 8:30am). The beach is about 20 steps from the bnb, and you have access to their four lightweight beach chairs that each have their own zipper cooler attached. Day 1 was spent whale watching in Monterey (30min away), Day 2 was Big Sur, but the best day was spent 8am-4pm on the bnb beach, which had plenty of room for social distancing + others on the beach were super friendly. We couldn’t find a tent/umbrella for our unusually hot day, so bring a hat/waters in case the sun is strong. Casamigos is a must for lunch (also attached to the best/closest gas station), McDonald’s in Monterey tasted like a gourmet burger, and Old Fisherman’s Grotto was a great last dinner. The bnb is surrounded by produce farms, which was a really neat surprise. There’s also wildlife around the bnb and on the beach. We saw raccoons, a skunk, a bobcat, dolphins and seals (always felt safe). We saw four dolphins and a seal surf on our last morning, which alone made the whole trip worth it! Strawberry farms and a beautiful beach, couldn’t have dreamt up a better place!
