Salinas beach restuarant
One of the pleasures of staying at The Ocean View is how close everything feels, and Salinas Beach Restaurant is a good example of that ease.

Some mornings are […]

The flight itself is quiet and surprisingly gentle, allowing time to take in the view rather than […]

It’s a beach that changes with the light, calm and reflective in the early morning, powerful and dramatic when the wind picks up. Guests often find themselves returning here more than once a day. […]
