There's no valet parking at the Crystal Pier Hotel & Cottages on San Diego's Pacific Beach. Instead, you drive beneath an archway, rumble down the 1927 wood pier, and pull up right in front of your very own white, wood-framed cottage with blue shutters, each set bearing a different nautical design. There's no swimming pool either. Instead, you have the Pacific, endlessly rolling onto the beach, sending tremors through the floorboards of the pier's vintage buildings and, with every vibration, a little flutter through the hearts of hotel guests. The sunsets do that too. Like the parking, they come with the price of the cottage. And so I sit back and take this one in. Usually after a beach sunset, you hang on for a bit, hoping that the day will last longer. But the sun doesn't do encores. And inevitably the time comes to leave it all behind. I'm here for a few nights, though, and can linger on the chaise, savoring the sights and sounds. Few life pleasures
are sweeter than overnighting along the beach, and Southern California
has a rich selection of oceanfront lodging.
