Cambria, on California’s Central Coast, is one of those special destinations. It offers a spectacular coastline with an abundance of cliff-side trails, verdant hills and valleys ideal for cattle ranching, vineyards and open-air landscape painting.
Architecturally Cambria features a remarkable collection of original 19th-century salt-box homes and an early 20th-century downtown district known as East Village. Sadly, many visitors pass right through Cambria on State Highway 1, anxious to get to San Simeon and the Hearst Castle. It’s a shame because Cambria is a worthy destination on its own.
