WELCOME TO SHELL BEACH INN

A Boutique Inn on the Central Coast

All Rooms are now Air Conditioned!

The Shell Beach Inn is located just a short walk from the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy spectacular sunsets and breathtaking scenery from a nearby park and gazebo overlooking the ocean.

This is also an ideal spot for observing the abundant coastal wildlife including playful sea otters, sun-bathing seals, dolphins, and even grey whales. Discover a nearby stairway leading to a secluded beach where tide pools and rock caves entertain and educate youthful (and young at heart) explorers.

In addition to our famous beaches, come to enjoy many other area activities including drive-on sand dunes, surfing, kayaking, hiking, and antique shopping.

The newly revitalized Shell Beach downtown is right outside your door, offering a short walk to several local restaurants and a paved bike path.

Located just five minutes from Pismo Beach and Avila Beach, or 15 minutes from San Luis Obispo, the Shell Beach Inn is in an ideal location to stay and experience all that the Central Coast has to offer!

“We stopped at the Shell Beach Inn because we loved the neon sign. We stayed four nights because we loved the hospitality, kindness, and atmosphere. We still love the sign though.”
