The Lower Cost Coastal Accommodations Program, run by the California Coastal Commission, is bridging the affordability gap for overnight stays along California’s iconic coast. The program funds the development or improvement of low-cost lodging such as cabins, hostels, and campgrounds, ensuring that all Californians—not just the wealthy—can experience the beauty of beachside stays. It’s an inclusive and environmentally conscious initiative, supporting both coastal access and sustainable tourism opportunities.
