Does my ideal vacation rental exist?

Private beaches are a good reason for the slogan;

"Eat the Rich"

I'm sorry, but it's just wrong to buy up all the coastline and keep everyone out.

Pismo Beach or Avila Beach would be nice places to spend some time. I also really like Morro Bay, but you'd want to be in the north part of town to be near the ocean rather than the small bay. Once you go north of there, the coast is mostly cliffs with some pocket beaches, many of which only exist at low tide, until you get north of Big Sur. It's a beautiful area with plenty of fabulous view hikes, but it's not beachy.

Cayucos has a great walking beach.

You could consider Waldport Oregon, or Newport, or Lincoln City areas. Tons of private homes available as rentals, Some years ago we rented a house right on the beach just north of Waldport multiple times and enjoyed it immensely. We would walk to where the river flowed into the ocean and visit the colonies (at a safe distance) of sea lions lounging on the beach on the inside of the spit by Waldport bay. I know your fear of cold weather, but many times late October on Oregon coats is glorious with sunny days and blue skies.

I guess I need to clarify. I am not looking for a private beach. I am looking for a beach that is so isolated that it feels private.

Thanks. I never made it to Cayucos in my trips to the central coast.

Carmel is great. Perfection for me is Pacific Grove
