THE FLAT ROCK GUESTROOM
| Montara | Flat Rock | Ross’ Cove | Mavericks | The Jetty | Dunes |
Each of our six individually decorated rooms, named after a famous surfing spot in the area, has its own unique style.
~Flat Rock~
About a mile south of Moss Beach Distillery and another half mile out lies a reef break known as Flat Rock, which lies on the edge of a steep underwater ravine. Getting to this spot takes courage and stamina. First there's the treacherous near free-falling drop down 100 foot sandstone cliffs, then the long reef-hopping hike through sea urchins and finally a short but vigorous paddle in shifting currents to a large, cumbersome rock that is both intimidating and refuge. Only the southern portion is truly surfable, which works best on west swells. The swells wrap around the rock creating a right that is both hollow and steep. You rarely see other surfers at this spot. It is a badge to even make it this far! However keep plenty of energy stored in your system, as the hike back to your car can be much worse on the body.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn. All the negative reviews about the foghorn must be from super-sensitive sleepers, because it was a total non-issue. With the windows closed, you really had to strain to hear it. The rooms are very spacious, and true to the pictures, with modern furnishings and appliances.
