It is an oceanfront property without a road between the hotel and the beach.

Hotel Services

Plunge Beach Resort offers high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Parking is available for a nightly fee. The hotel has a lobby art gallery featuring local artists. Reusable items are available upon request. Housekeeping services are provided every other day for standard rooms and every day for ocean front rooms. The hotel provides wheelchair accessible restaurants and pools equipped with a lift and ramps to the pool deck. The hotel also offers a Summer Package. There is also a Scuba Package.

“Here's my take: this oceanfront hideaway prioritizes beach access without the interruption of busy roads, setting it apart. I especially appreciate the Plunge Into The Arts program, which spotlights local artists, and the adult-exclusive bungalows that provide a serene retreat. It strikes me as a well-rounded destination for both leisure and business.”
