The Sandpiper-Lodging At The Beach

The Sandpiper Hotel

The Sandpiper is located in Stinson Beach, a quiet seaside community less than an hour north of San Francisco. Just a short stroll from your door three and a half miles of wide, sandy beach invites you to forget your cares and relax. Or turn the other direction and Mount Tamalpais with its beautiful trails, spectacular views and lush redwood forests stands above, between you and everything you left behind. Muir Woods is just a few minutes south by car or a couple hours hike; the Point Reyes National Seashore is minutes north. Walk from your room or cabin to the beaches and trails of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Mount Tamalpais State Park. The area features year-round activities such as hiking, biking (road and trail), surfing, kite boarding, boogie boarding, skim boarding, beach-combing, horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, sailboarding, rock climbing, bird watching, seal watching, and tidepool viewing. And, of course, doing nothing is always an option. The town features three good restaurants within easy walking distance of the Sandpiper. Whether you're stepping away from your cozy room or cabin and its fireplace to walk down to the beach between winter rainstorms or sitting in the shade of our pepper tree with a good book and a glass of wine after a day in the sun on the beach or on the trails, the Sandpiper may be just what you need for a quick getaway or extended stay.
