After a day spent hiking the Big River Trail, swimming at nearby Van Damme State Beach, or simply lounging on your ocean-view deck, you’re bound to get hungry. The Little River Inn has dog-friendly dining on the garden patio, complete with small plates, seafood and seasonal dishes.

You can also order room service and enjoy dinner against an ocean sunset backdrop. From there, Ole’s Whale Watch Bar is the ideal place for a nightcap.
