Racoon on the Marsh


There are all sorts of wildlife outside our deck and waterfront view rooms. Guests commonly watch sea otters, harbor seals, herons, egrets, and so many other birds. And on occasssion we get other wildlife too like deer, oppossum, and bunnies, bunnies, bunnies. This last weekend our guests were given a show by this mischievious raccoon. We sometimes see these fellas grabbing small crabs from the marsh and eating them. They also use the slough to wash other food. One of the guests, P. Miholland, captured this raccoon right through our bedroom picture windows! We appreciate him letting us share his photo here with you.

Crab for New Years


Happy New Year to Everyone! It is winter time and this is a great time to get fresh dungeness crab. The crab season is going strong. There are several ways to enjoy this yummy crab. You can come and eat some at one of Moss Landing's acclaimed great seafood restaurants; cracked crab, ciopinno stew, crab enchilada, crab cocktail, thai crab anyone? You can buy fresh prepared crab at the seafood market and have a picnic on the Inn's deck, beach, while watching sunset, or at a local park. Last, you can bring a cooler and buy live crab right from the fisherman on dock A to take home for a feast of your own. We keep ice and blue coldees to keep your seafood purchase cold when you travel home.
