About El Caminante Bar & Bungalows

Beachfront luxury embracing the spirit of Old California. Meticulously recrafted Spanish Colonial Revival style with sweeping ocean views. Originally The Swallows Motel (1946), reimagined by Artist Guild Hotels in 2024. A place to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and reconnect with the coast.
