When travelling to Big Sur, there are numerous types of hotels from which to choose. However, if you are looking for a unique and breathtaking experience, beach hotels should be at the top of your list.
The first reason to choose a beach hotel is the stunning ocean views. Virtually every room has an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean, and some offer panoramic views of the entire coast.
Second, beach hotels offer a more immersive experience. Rather than simply looking at the ocean from a distance, you can walk on the same sand where sea captains, explorers, and merchants once tread. You can also hear the waves crashing from your room, which is a sound that never gets old.
Third, beach hotels are typically more affordable than their inland counterparts. This can be a great way to save money while still enjoying a first-class experience.
Finally, beach hotels offer a wide variety of activities right on-site, such as swimming, boating, fishing, and surfing. You also have access to some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world, which means you can spend each day doing something different.
