California’s Central Coast is known for its vast vineyards and beautiful landscape.
But what you might not know is that it’s also home to one of the state’s largest elephant seal populations and what was once known as the “Clam Capital of the World.”
The area also boasts many top-notch hotels, like Dolphin Bay Resort and Spa. 
Dolphin Bay is located in the heart of Pismo Beach, and each room has a beautiful ocean view. The one- or two-bedroom suites also come fully loaded with a gourmet kitchen and washer/dryer unit.
The resort also features the award-winning Lido restaurant and, as the name suggests, a luxurious day spa.
California Life’s Audra Stafford has a look around the resort in the story below, airing statewide this week!
