From the reviews
I love this place. It is very quaint and loved by its owner. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and well maintained. The rooms are nice, but not luxurious which is exactly what I like. Television with cable excellent Wi-Fi excellent cell service a refrigerator in a microwave that’s perfectly sized. Coffee maker.
I've lived in Marin County for 40 years but have never spent any meaningful time at Stinson Beach. I stayed at the Sandpiper Lodge for two nights in November. What a great spot! The room and kitchenette were fabulous. Sandpiper Lodging at the Beach offers the perfect proximity to all that Stinson has to offer.
The Sandpiper was a wonderful place to spend Thanksgiving. Great location and amenities for food, drinks & grociers. Spring beds & noise from arguing couple upstairs could have been better. But it worked well for us, to be with Stinson Beach family campers. Beautiful Sun sets.
I had the most wonderful and restorative couple of days here. Peaceful and comfortable, accommodating, clean, and hearing the waves on the beach! I’ll make it my new getaway from now on!
Getting married at Sandpiper Lodging at the Beach
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
