Moonstone Landing

Ocean Views and Cozy Vibes in Cambria

Moonstone Landing is a charming, oceanfront hotel located along Moonstone Beach Drive in Cambria, CA—just a short drive from Big Sur and Hearst Castle. With its serene coastal setting, gas fireplaces, and cozy touches like bathrobes and spa tubs in select rooms, it’s ideal for music lovers who want to unwind after the show. Every room includes free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, microwave, coffee maker, and some even come with a balcony or patio to soak in those ocean breezes.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show at a local winery or venue near San Luis Obispo, Moonstone Landing offers a calm retreat to return to. It’s set away from the noise, so you can truly relax. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, keep in mind the 8:00 AM check-out is earlier than most—so plan accordingly after a late night. Still, the peaceful beachside location, hot tub, and outdoor patio make recovery blissful. Plus, with free parking and easy highway access, getting to and from shows is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends wanting a scenic base for concert weekends
• Solo travelers looking for relaxation between festival days
• Couples seeking a romantic, music-filled getaway
• Fans in need of a post-concert detox with ocean air and quiet nights
• Budget-conscious guests who still want an upscale experience

Several nearby spots cater to night owls, and your in-room microwave and fridge make quick snacks easy.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about unplugging than partying, you're just a short drive from the region’s wineries with live music, cozy pubs, and local lounges in Cambria. Grab a drink at a nearby tasting room or take in a sunset concert along the coast.
