An Upscale Coastal Retreat on Cambria’s Moonstone Beach

Overlooking Cambria’s picturesque Moonstone Beach, Blue Dolphin Inn offers an intimate coastal escape with 20 beautifully appointed guest rooms. Designed with warm, natural colors and custom furnishings, the rooms feature plush bedding, cozy fireplaces, and thoughtful amenities. Six specialty guest rooms draw design inspiration from oceans around the world and offer sweeping Pacific views, private patios, and jetted bathtubs. Each morning begins with a freshly prepared picnic-style breakfast delivered to your door. Step outside to explore the Moonstone Beach Boardwalk, watch for migrating whales, or settle in for a spectacular sunset over the Pacific.
