On the central coast of California there is a treasure, barely discovered and whispered about by those who attempt to keep it's secret; it is the small, funky, casual beach town of Cayucos. A long ago feeling and atmosphere of what the beach towns of California used to be like; with surfers and woodies. Where many long to return, a simpler and more casual place; where cattle graze the verdant hills in spring, and the smell of sage in the summer complements the forever view of the sea.

The Paso Robles wine country is a spectacular and brief trip northeast to Hwy. 46 (less than 30 miles with breathtaking views atop Hwy 46 looking back at the Monterey Bay and Morro Rock). This is where you begin the long process of discovering the hundreds of incredible wineries there. And, the coastal wineries are even closer. Cayucos is just below the southern most tip of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and a blissful stop on any trip up to or from Carmel, Big Sur, Monterey and San Francisco.

At the center of all this is On The Beach Bed & Breakfast. An intimate, luxury, beachfront, casual inn, located at the foot of the Cayucos Pier, a skip to the sand and surf. The perfect location to walk to any of the activities and dining enjoyed in Cayucos. Of beachfront hotels, On The Beach Bed & Breakfast offers all the amenities without the additional costs: free wireless, rooftop hot tub spa deck, complimentary evening beverages and a staff who cater to the guests without being stuffy. While surfers and boogie boarders skim the waves, lovers stroll the pier, children frolic on the beach, sit and sip local award winning wines enjoying the sunset on your own private balcony, overlooking the sea at On The Beach Bed & Breakfast. We offer all the amenities our luxury status implies - while retaining the laidback beach atmosphere so sought after by those coming to Cayucos.

Romance and weddings are a natural On The Beach. We have a honeymoon suite that's rarely unoccupied and we work with local venues (Cayucos Barn, Vet's Hall, Cass House) to arrange weddings and receptions. On The Beach Bed and Breakfast offers a Wedding Program for those wanting to make the inn the center of their wedding plans and activities. Family reunions, anniversaries, and romantic getaways are also celebrated here.

Other Cayucos special events provide something for everyone's passion; classic car shows, antique street fairs, the Cayucos Fourth of July parade and fireworks (view from our rooms!), surf contests and bike events. Simply walking out the front or beach entrance of the Inn you are there. Champagne brunches and unique happenings for all holidays give credence to our motto: Life is a celebration, On The Beach!

Amazing Ocean Views!

By full ocean view, we mean 180 degrees; not a peek, not a slice - the forever blue sea as soon as you open the door into one of our ocean view rooms. You'll start your day with the scent of our full, hot breakfast (guests have referred to them as "gourmet comfort food"), and after a day of pleasure return to our cozy lobby for the Evening Gathering to enjoy the complimentary taste of the local, featured winery we've chosen for that month, along with beer, beverages and imported cheeses and appetizers.
