Review:
The relaxed coastal town of Cambria is surrounded by the breath-taking natural beauty of towering pine trees and the Pacific Ocean.
Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cambria is about a 4-hour drive from each city, making it a great weekend getaway for honeymooners and couples.
The town’s rich history is reflected in the beautiful old homes and museums, including the Cambria Historical Museum and the Historic East Village.
Take a romantic walk along the beach and look for giant elephant seals. There is a network of hiking trails that wind along the coastline and offer spectacular ocean views. Cambria has wonderful galleries displaying local artists’ works, a live theater and music events.
The town hosts several popular festivals such as the Cambria Art and Wine Festival, the Cambria Western Dance Jamboree, and the Cambria Festival of the Trees. If you are looking for honeymoon spots in USA on the coast, Cambria is a great place to visit.
Where to Stay: The 20 renovated guest rooms at the Blue Dolphin Inn (Phone: 800-222-9970) are located just steps from the beach.
Where to Eat: Cambria Pines Lodge Restaurant serves dishes prepared with organic produce grown in the lodge gardens, along with a selection of award-winning wines from California’s Central Coast. Before dinner, take a romantic walk through the manicured gardens and fountains.
Don’t Miss: Take a tour of Hearst Castle, a magnificent hilltop estate.
