Ragged Point Inn
Ragged Point Inn is a hotel perched on a high cliff above the Pacific Ocean in San Luis Obispo County, California. It offers 39 guest rooms, a gourmet restaurant featuring local ingredients, a snack bar, gift shop, jewelry shop, coffee bar, and mini-market, all set on grounds with walking and hiking trails.
The inn was founded in the late 1950s when Wiley and Mildred Ramey purchased the land and built a small motel for travelers on this quiet stretch of highway. The Ramey family continues to operate the business today as a family-owned establishment, welcoming guests and nurturing community ties over many decades.
The inn's name comes from the jagged rock formation at the cliff's edge where it stands. This location has shaped local culture over many years, making it a gathering place where travelers and residents experience the coastal landscape together.
Explore the property by using the walking and hiking trails, bringing water, sunscreen, and a camera to capture the scenery. The inn serves as a quiet base for day trips to nearby attractions like Hearst Castle or scenic drives along Highway 1.
The land was once part of the large Hearst Ranch before the Rameys acquired it after two years of persuading the owner to sell. From April through October, the inn hosts live music and barbecue events on weekends, drawing both locals and visitors for an informal gathering.
