The food is great... service was exceptional.. and the location at the beach on the cliffs is breathtaking.

Rooms: Two bedroom was nice but had to share one bathroom and needs updating Walkability: The beach is very close. There is a pedestrian overpass just outside.

This review is for dining: Forget the hype. I spent $130 as a solo diner on dinner and I left hungry and dissatisfied. I ordered the 6 oz petite filet, 2 sides and a dese ... more

$35 per night parking fee and nasty smelling water from the bathroom sink. Not a great experience.

Great property. Rooms are nice but could use some updating/modernizing. Staff is great all around.

It's pretty and short.

6:20 pm Sat 28 Oct. Hardly anyone on the trail along Strands Beach. I look forward to coming back to walk the 2.5 mile route.

Gorgeous park with plentiful parking. There is so much to enjoy here. Just walking around is a pure pleasure.

Heaven on earth

Beautiful

We do the Redo Market here every year and its amazing. Live music, beer gardens and tons of vintage/antique goodness!!

A nice park for starting a bike ride or hike on the San Juan Creek Trail. It also has other things like a tennis/pickleball court and basketball at the park

I like a dirty bathroom, where even the ceilings are disgusting - reminds me of Vietnam. So this place gets 5 stars in my book!

Thank you for your service

Amazing lookout with free parking. Wide panoramic views of the ocean. If you're lucky maybe you'll see a whale!

Such an amazing viewpoint. I usually take my daughter here but lately I've taky my patients. They get a thrill of the view and the trail you can walk. Years ago I caught ... more

I didn't visit the Institute. I went out to sea on one of their boats. We had a fun trip.

Spectacular spot to park there and watch sunsets and ocean as much as you can Parking is free, bathroom and seat

Suitable for relaxing, not many people, there is a wide beach where you can sit, there is a grill and tables and chairs for eating.

We were disappointed when we arrived. Its cut off by the road with no sidewalk leading to it and then a bunch of signs pretty much telling you not to visit or go near it. ... more

Dave and Chrstian go out of their way to accommodate and support a great experience. I'm an old guy (61) and my surfing skills left me years ago. They found a way to kee ... more

Way to crowded! Small sites close to neighbors. Campfires allowed for that smoke neighbor, awful!

Very great views. The tide pools were fun.

Most likely one of THE BEST not so hidden gems on Earth! Always just about to host a variety of festivals! Keep your eyes peeled/abreast

I take the dogs for a walk there often Lots of open grass space to hang out Swings and a play area for kids Bathrooms Great community park

Clean park

Trail is closed today due to rain. I wish theres an easy way to know when trail will be re opened.

Fun 90 min trip. Seas where a gental 2-3 swells. Almost rocked me to sleep.

Capt Will took me and my boys out for a memorable day on the ocean. He was great to the kids, giving information about the local area, marine wildlife, and fishing. Even ... more

Our go to park for play or birthdays. New play addition for the really little ones.

Very easy to access, nice ship, and knowledgeable staff! Got to see fin whales up close, and was a beautiful trip.

Home, what can I say, I can't stay away too long.

Beautiful views this morning on our Coast Tour

Nice place
