The Lost Whale Inn is a romantic bed and breakfast located on a majestic cliff and nestled on four gorgeous acres of rugged Northern California coast. Breathtaking ocean views and gentle breezes renew the spirit of what a vacation is all about: escape and solitude.

This warm Cape Cod-style Inn boasts of huge windows and skylights, relaxing decks, and elegant wood flooring and trim. If you are bringing your children, simply relax on the deck as they have the run of the enclosed grounds, pick berries near the greenhouse, or have fun in the playground and playhouse. You can also chat with other guests as you lounge in the living room, or curl up in front of a fire with a book.

The six guest rooms at the Inn, each with private bath, are beautifully furnished and wonderfully quiet. Four of the rooms have outstanding ocean views, while two overlook the elaborate gardens. Two of the ocean-view rooms have sleeping lofts for older children or an extra adult, and one of the garden-view rooms can sleep a family of four or three adults.

Wake to the barking of sea lions and crashing waves. Open the window to fresh salt spray and the smell of pine. The only rival to nature's refreshing smells is the promising aroma of breakfast. Indulge in a bountiful gourmet fare of casseroles, frittatas, cobblers, coffee cakes, and scones. A different five-course meal awaits you each morning. In the afternoon, partake in an afternoon tea of wine, pastries, and fruit.

When you return to The Lost Whale Inn at the end of the day, soak in the hot tub as you watch a glorious sunset and reflect upon this refreshing break from your fast-paced life.

Explore the Inn's two-mile private cove with its tide pools, sea lions, birds, and migrating gray whales. Thousands of acres of hiking trails offer Northern California recreation where you can watch migrating whales, picnic in the woods, or hunting for jade and agate on Agate Beach, all just minutes away from the inn. Don't miss hiking through the majestic redwoods in Redwood National Park and Prairie Creek State Park, only twenty minutes away to the north. Your hosts can arrange ocean and river fishing, horseback or mountain bike riding through the woods, or river rafting excursions.
