Savory Moments

Picture yourself waking up with the sunrise, sipping on a freshly brewed cappuccino and snacking on a tasty pastry at Bean & Barnacle. Or, maybe you want to sink your teeth into some Steak, Hash and Eggs while sipping on bottomless mimosas in our lobby art gallery at Octopus. Then… when it’s time to unwind and breathe in the salty air, imagine yourself with a delectable plate of street tacos, folding one into a savory bite just before sipping a tropical rum punch underneath rays of golden light as the band begins to play at Backflip Beach Bar & Kitchen. With three on-property dining outlets, there’s a tantalizing taste for everyone at Plunge Beach Resort.

Spring Break Fun

Really enjoyed the property and the proximity of it to the beach, literally a minute away from the sand… It has a very funky, modern vibe which was awesome… overall a great stay and I'd definitely return back again!

Staycation with friends

Our bungalows were clean, sanitized and perfect for the staycation we were hoping for! We were able to watch the sunrise and see the baby turtles head out to sea. I will never forget that!

Perfect Vacation!

After having stayed at Plunge Beach Resort on four different vacations, I will continue to be a steady guest in the future. Everything was absolutely wonderful... the grounds, the rooms, the service... and most importantly, THE STAFF!
