Boardwalk surf heaven

This property is listed for adults only. It’s located directly across the street from the boardwalk next to the ocean. A couple very nice restaurants on this row of motels. Highly recommend for a quiet get away.

The Blue Dolphin was amazing! Beautiful room, friendly & professional staff, and delicious breakfast delivered to our room. Incredible sunset views around a fire pit, and delicious dinner restaurant within walking distance. We will be returning!

Fantastic property - the location is the real sell here, and arguably the best hotel on the front here. My only really recommendation would be breakfast - the choice is limited (effectively just a egg and ham burrito that’s not edible for a European) - perhaps teaming up with the local French bakery to offer some of their fantastic treats would give an option that’s easily added to the choice? Regardless - we don’t come for the breakfast and will come again anyway.

It’s our 3rd time staying at the Blue Dolphin Inn and it’s predictably and reliably comfortable. The breakfast is huge regardless of your choices and the convenience to walk to restaurants is great. With EV charging, it’s our go to spot to stay in Cambria. We’ll be back!
