If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Santa Maria Beach located 0.9 mi (1.4 km) from central Santa Maria. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Kite Beach and Shark Bay Beach.
Santa Maria Town Square is just one of the landmarks located 0.3 mi (0.5 km) from central Santa Maria, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip.
Santa Maria Pier is just one of the places to see in Santa Maria, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Stroll along the area's beaches or simply enjoy its bars.

8/10 Good
"Overall happy with our stay, it was one of the cheapest options we could find with a decent room. The location isn’t ideal, but there is a free shuttle bus several times per day to the city or beach. The sofa and bed are a little uncomfortable, but the room is well equipes with a decent kitchen and good shower. The pool is decent and the site is green and well kept. On site shop is an absolute rip off, avoid if you can, the restaurante and bar are moderately priced however. The private beach was probably the best part, and the lack of/poor WiFi the worst. The place called out for more vibrancy, but it was comfortable enough to be more than just a place to sleep and we needed some peace and quiet anyways!"
"Hotel spotlessly clean, food varied and really good. Pools and beach had plenty of sunloungers, plenty of shade. Staff polite and friendly. Minor problem with light switch in room was solved in half an hour. Everything you'd expect from a Riu hotel."
"Excellent property. Very few sea facing rooms. Evening entertainment was good. Food was excellent and spoilt for choice. No kids was added advantage. Lot of activities to choose"
"Very nice hotel. A few shortcomings: Much of The equipment in the gym is non-functional and the elliptical is broken and dangerous; We had a roach in our room; they do not regularly provide water —you have to ask for it; the bead only have sheets (no blankets) but there are comforters in the closets
