There is a moment of pure joy that springs from your dog’s expression when they arrive at the beach and leap into the bay. In our complicated world, this very well might be the moment that makes it all worthwhile. Their happiness becomes our happiness.

If you are a dog lover and perhaps hold a special place in your heart for the California coast, then the video above is meant for you. The beach in the video is located just a few blocks from Inn At Mavericks and is often sparsely populated with a few visitors and dogs. The Inn has three dog-friendly suites on the ground floor where your dog can enjoy the cool ocean air from the patio. Visit us and enjoy the calm bay and sandy beaches.

Inn At Mavericks is surrounded to the north, east, and south by the Santa Cruz Mountains. The mountains form a ridge down the San Francisco Peninsula all the way to the Salinas Valley. Close to the Santa Cruz Mountains’ northern tip, the Montara Mountain rises 1,898 feet and is networked with hiking trails and magnificent beaches. Montara beach is about one mile long and is surrounded by stunning sculpted sandstone cliffs. Just north of Montara beach is Gray Whale Cove, named for the gray whales that can be spotted from here in the spring as they migrate northward. Our video clip (above) flies north over Gray Whale Cove and hopefully provides you with a glimpse of the coastal beauty that surrounds Inn At Mavericks.

The Best Of Inn At Mavericks

Over the last seven years, we have had the privilege of filming and photographing Inn At Mavericks in all four seasons. On our first stay at the inn we woke early in the morning to the sky lit up with oranges and golds and we scrambled to the porch with our cameras and watched the colors change and modulate as the sun rose over the bay. On other visits, we have roamed the cliffs above Mavericks beach and filmed the harbor full of couples and families as they played in the harbor’s gentle waters.
