Ala Mar By The Sea Rooms
About Ala Mar by the Sea Santa Barbara
The kind of place where sand trails into the lobby and the Pacific is the first thing you hear in the morning.
Ala Mar by the Sea doesn’t pretend to be polished. That’s part of the appeal. Set right on Cabrillo Boulevard, this humble beachside motel trades glossy finishes for location, location, location. From the small sun deck upstairs, you can spot the surf rolling in or watch the sky shift over the Santa Ynez Mountains. Downstairs, the vibe is unmistakably relaxed—guests rinsing off beach sand, sipping takeout coffee, and padding back barefoot from the pier.
Rooms are straightforward but functional, with Wi-Fi, cable TV, and fans to catch the ocean air. Many include a microwave and mini-fridge, handy for leftovers or picnic snacks. The staff, while casual in delivery, tends to be responsive and welcoming. A continental breakfast—think coffee and pastries—is laid out each morning, and there's free on-site parking, a rarity this close to the beach.
Expect a laid-back energy. The building shows its age, and the furniture doesn’t make a statement—but the Pacific is less than 100 steps from the front door. For travelers who care more about the sea breeze than designer finishes, Ala Mar by the Sea delivers a breezy, unfussy stay at the water’s edge.
