California

California’s best known for its sun‑drenched coast, towering redwoods and Hollywood glamour. The Golden State pairs beach life with dramatic national parks and cutting‑edge cities. Families find theme parks and gentle beaches, singles discover nightlife, hiking and coastal road trips that spark adventure and lasting discovery.

Top highlights are Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Coast Highway with cliffside views. Don’t miss driving Highway 1 at sunset. Stay in San Francisco for iconic sights, Los Angeles for beaches and nightlife, and San Diego for family‑friendly shorelines and relaxed coastal charm.

SeaCrest Oceanfront Hotel

Pismo Beach
From US$170.90 per night
Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7
Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,377 reviews
The hotel is right on the ocean front and even if you don't get an ocean-facing room, it's easy to walk out to the pool or the look-out point for a fantastic view of the sunset. A simple complimentary breakfast is provided. It wasn't so bad as there were some hot items. There's also a restaurant and bar in the next building so it's easy to get dinner if you don't feel like driving out for dinner. The reception staff were efficient. The room was large.

This is a beautiful hotel! The rooms were exceptionally clean and the room we got allocated was really large with a lovely outdoor seating area in the front. You couldn't get closer to the beach, the parking was very handy too. The bar is also in the perfect spot for an evening drink with the fire pits too

Great buffet breakfast, just disappointed it was only available at the weekend. Great location very close to the Gondola. Great to have self laundry facilities on each floor of hotel. Loved the large bedrwith separate lounge area, perfect for families.

Loved the quirkiness, character and history of Madonna Inn. Your staff were happy to assist with our many photos we wanted to take. Also one of your staff members talked to us about the history of the Inn which was si fascinating.
