3-star oceanfront hotel on Moonstone Beach in Cambria
Oceanfront Location & Beach Access
White Water sits directly across from Moonstone Beach, with the boardwalk less than a 1-minute walk from the guest rooms. The hotel is positioned at the north end of the boardwalk, away from the congestion found further south along the beach. Guests can walk to Moonstone Beach Park less than 1.6 km away or drive 10 minutes to Hearst Castle.
Guest Rooms & In-Room Amenities
Each room includes a gas fireplace and a seating area with cable TV, with select rooms offering a spa bath or outdoor soaking tub with ocean views. Bathrooms are stocked with Aesop bath amenities, and rooms feature décor inspired by Scandinavian and California bohemian design influences. Premium King Rooms provide partial ocean views, while Ocean View rooms include a window seat overlooking the boardwalk and the Pacific.
Breakfast & On-Site Dining
Each morning a basket of fresh coffee, orange juice, and pastries is delivered to the guest room door-with customization options available, including gluten-free alternatives upon request. The lobby features a self-service bar with local wines, draft beers, and craft cocktails available for purchase. Guests can also enjoy s'mores kits provided for the outdoor fire pit in the evening.
Activities & Nearby Attractions
Complimentary bicycle rentals allow guests to explore Cambria and the surrounding coastline at no extra cost. The hotel is a 45-minute drive from Paso Robles wine country, which contains over 250 wineries, and is also close to the Elephant Seal viewing areas in winter. Beach towels, picnic blankets, and a travel bag are available in the room for easy day trips to the shore.
