Resort

1 Beach Ave, Dillon Beach, CA

Escape to Northern California’s only privately owned beach at this vintage 130-year-old coastal resort, masterfully reimagined for modern travelers. The independent oceanfront getaway features 25 design-forward, luxury tiny-home cottages and 3 original restored beach houses overlooking the Pacific surf where Tomales Bay meets the ocean. Guests can walk directly onto the wide sandy beach, enjoy fresh coastal fare at the on-site Coastal Kitchen restaurant, and stock up on local provisions at the historic general store.
