Coastal Cambria: Where the Pines Meet the Sea
Along the coast, enjoy the breathtaking boardwalk at Moonstone Beach, where dramatic cliffs and tidepools invite exploration. Cambria is a hiker’s paradise, with coastal trails that wind through pine forests, along ocean bluffs, and across scenic preserves. Favorites like the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve offer miles of walking trails with sweeping views of the Pacific, native wildlife, and quiet solitude just steps from town.
Stroll through the historic East and West Villages to find art galleries, boutique shops, wine tasting rooms, and cozy cafés. Just up the road, iconic attractions like Hearst Castle and the Piedras Blancas elephant seal rookery, where you can watch these massive creatures on the beach, offer even more reasons to explore.
