    13 Incredible Things To Do In Cambria, California

    April 12, 2024 /

    Cambria is a charming town nestled along the Central California Coast that is best known for its stunning Moonstone Beach and cozy beachfront hotels. As a California local, I love to visit Cambria on hiking adventures or stay here on the weekends to relax on the coast. Cambria is a tiny town with only 6000 residents but it has plenty to keep you occupied on a couple day trip! With an inviting downtown, art galleries, cafes, wine-tasting spots, and nature preserves, there is so much more to do in this little heaven than going to the beach (which I recommend doing as well!). Get ready for a fun coastal adventure…

    Fiscalini Ranch Preserve is one of my favorite hiking places along the Central California Coast. It’s easily accessible for those staying in San Simeon or Cambria. Within minutes of entering Fiscalini Ranch, you can experience a variety of terrain from serene forest paths to jaw-dropping coastal trails. Picturesque scenery, charming boardwalks, rugged ocean views, and diverse ecosystems make the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve a great place to enjoy nature and observe wildlife. Visitors can often spot whales, seals, otters, and a variety of birds from one of the trails that travel next to the ocean bluffs.

    How To Visit Moonstone Beach Boardwalk In Cambria

    March 26, 2024 /

    Moonstone Beach Boardwalk is a scenic pathway that travels next to the ocean in Cambria. This wooden boardwalk is mostly flat making it a popular outdoor activity for those visiting Cambria or San Simeon. The boardwalk is only 2.6 miles long round trip so it’s the perfect place to go for an afternoon walk with little kids or dogs. It also offers plenty of opportunities to access the beach where you can explore tide pools and walk on the sandy shoreline. On my most recent trip to Cambria, I walked this pathway with my baby stroller and pup. I’m here to share information that I wish I had known before…
