Steps to Cliff House Resort! Ocean living at it's best! We get many questions about access to the ocean or beach. The resort has a steel access staircase down to the ocean. Its a rocky shoreline, no beach. Easy access but not really a swim area. There is no beach, several beaches are about a 5 minute drive, pay parking. Also you can use resort restaurants, breakfast coffee shop, bars, spa, walking paths. However not the resort pools. Nor unfortunately do they offer day passes. We offer flexible booking options not the standard 7 nights, Saturday to Saturday.
