Cambria
California is located 16 miles south of San Simeon State Park.
Visitors can stroll along the boardwalk, which runs along the
beach for about three quarters. Leffingwell Landing and Moonstone
Beach are among the more well known beaches in and around Cambria.
Explore the tide pools or go searching through the stone piles
looking for treasures.
In town you will find art galleries, shops, boutiques, bookstores,
fine restaurants and inns. Nearby attractions are Hearst Castle
State Historic Landmark and the central coast wineries.
Cambria is the perfect place for a bike ride, walk or leisurely
drive along coast highway or one of the back country roads. Cambria
motels and bed and breakfasts make a perfect base camp for visitors
to explore the pristine central California Coast.
The Pacific Ocean lends its beauty and cool temperatures to the
residents and visitors of Cambria. The rock formations that have
been created from years of crashing waves are amazing.
Just across Highway 1 is the forest of huge pine trees that were
saved from the lumber industry. All within one walk, you can experience
a wide variety of sights, sounds, and smells. |

Cambria Coast
California |
Cambria has quite
a few hotels
and bed and breakfast places to stay at. If your planning a trip
to Hearst Castle and its only about a 25 minute drive from Cambria.
Heading in the other direction is Morro Rock which is also about
a 25 minute drive.
There are a couple of motels closer to the Castle at Moonstone Beach
but selection is limited. Cambria is a great place to stop and enjoy
the California Central Coast.
This quaint seaside town is a perfect place to stop on any trip
along the coast. Stay for a few hours and enjoy a walk and lunch
or make Cambria you base for a central coast vacation. Cambria is
where the pines meet the sea in California.
