Spyglass Inn

Perched on the oceanfront bluffs of Pismo Beach in Shell Beach, Spyglass Inn delivers panoramic Central Coast views and surf-side drama. Minutes from Pismo Beach Pier, The Spa at Dolphin Bay, Margo Dodd Park, Hearst Castle, Lake Lopez and California Polytechnic State University, it’s a beachside base for family-friendly getaways and group trips.

This intimate oceanfront motel has 82 rooms that lean coastal-casual—simple, scenic and comfortable. Rooms feature refrigerators, MP3 docking stations, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and desks; bathrooms include designer toiletries and hair dryers, and some rooms offer bathrobes. Expect sunset window views and an ocean-view heated sundeck at the restaurant.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and take a dip in the outdoor pool or sink into the hot tub after a beach day. The property also offers a lobby fireplace, picnic area, onsite parking, concierge services and wireless internet across the grounds.

Planning an event? The inn has banquet and conference space (about 569–570 sq ft), two meeting rooms, a business center and a computer station. 24-hour front desk service and high-speed wireless internet support meetings and small gatherings.

Spyglass Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with indoor seating and a heated ocean-view sundeck, plus a lounge and snack bar/deli for lighter bites and drinks. Dine with surf-side views and sunset backdrops.
