The restaurant's Flor de Maíz concept draws inspiration from traditional Mexican flavors. Next door, Toma Restaurant & Bar offers an award-winning wine list, cocktails including the Endless Summer MaiTai, and locally sourced seafood.

West Beach Recreation

The hotel is located in West Beach, known for its wide sandy area popular with sunbathers, volleyball players, and windsurfers. Guests can bike along Santa Barbara's ocean-view trails or visit the Santa Barbara Harbor, located 500 meters away. The outdoor courtyard features a swimming pool and garden furniture for relaxation.

Central Santa Barbara Location

Beachside Inn is situated in West Beach, 1 km from Santa Barbara Amtrak station and 0.5 km from Santa Barbara City College. The property is within walking distance of Santa Barbara Harbor (0.5 km), Carriage and Western Art Museum (0.3 km), and MOXI Museum (1 km).

“This beachfront inn, while imperfect, stands out for delivering rare perks at its price point: free parking and even complimentary happy hour. The location is ideal for those eager to explore West Beach and its attractions. I think it's a reasonable base for experiencing Santa Barbara, especially if you value convenience over flawless luxury.”
