Ladies at the Captain's Inn

A group of sisters and their daughters came to stay with us at the Captain's Inn last weekend. Besides chatting and giggling, they made themselves at home in Moss Landing. They explored our beaches, shopped the art galleries and antiques, and enjoyed the Elkhorn Slough Safari wildlife tour.
They also visitied many of our fine eateries and gave me this report:
At Mark's Moss Landing Cafe try the coconut prawns, steak and green fried tomatoes.
At Whole Enchilada have the chile rellenos and the MARGARITAS!
At Phil's Fish Market order the clam chowder and the linguini with clams.
At the Haute Enchilada do not miss the tres leche cake.
Their friendship and cheer will be welcomed back to the Inn anytime.

Science at the Inn


You never know who you are having breakfast with at the Captain's Inn at Moss Landing. You may be dining with a shark ichthyologist, salt marsh ecologist, or a submarine engineer. The bed and breakfast is located between two world reknown marine science field stations and their visitors often stay with us. There is MBARI dedicated to deep sea engineering, and Moss Landing Marine Labs part of the California State University system focused on marine science research and education. The folks from Sea Imagine (seaimagine.com) were in town last week with their brand new single person submarine. They were here to launch the sub with the expert crew at Moss Landing Marine Labs. One of the unique features of the sub is that it can be transported on a trailer. They parked it out front of the inn and guests looked it over.

Gentlemen Bikers on Harleys


Our convenient location near to Highway One, makes a stop in Moss Landing perfect for people who are traveling North and South on Highway One. As a result, we have had couples on getaway, tour groups, car clubs, and many others come to stay on their way from one place to the other. These gentlemen just dropped in on the their drive from Nevada, through Yosemite, across the valley and to the coast. Their good looking bikes graced the front the inn until they headed South on to their next destination: the Big Sur coastline.
