Destinations / North America

Don’t count SoCal out when considering destinations for your next family trip. As beach vacations continue to be the top choice for multigenerational family travel, with so many seaside destinations to choose from, Huntington Beach and Carlsbad are great destinations for the family to escape the hustle and bustle of popular destinations.

 

When planning your trip to Southern California, consider these two oceanfront hotels to make beach trips a breeze. These properties offer complimentary amenities to ensure a stress-free vacation.

 

Beach Terrace

This intimate, 48-room property features spacious guestrooms with enough space for the whole family. Soak up the sun at the oceanfront Shorebreak Pool and then head back at night for a poolside fire. Families also have access to a private beach and beach valet, which helps set you up for everything you’ll need for the perfect beach day, including chairs, umbrellas, blankets, boogie boards and toys. Continue the fun off sand and explore the surrounding town with complimentary bikes or spend the night in the room playing board games from the hotel’s library.

 

Paséa Hotel & Spa

Located in the heart of Huntington Beach’s vibrant coastal community, Paséa Hotel & Spa features 250 spacious rooms and sites, with most facing the ocean. The hotel is just steps from the beach. Take advantage of the hotel’s Beach Butler that transports guests and all their beach gear with an exclusive pedicab service. Guests can also use chairs, umbrellas, toys, bike rentals and the option to purchase a picnic basket with all the best beach snacks. After a day of soaking up the sun, cozy up next to one of Huntington Beach’s 500 beachside bonfire rings.
