Things to Do
Moonstone Beach Boardwalk
Famous for its dramatic coastline and breathtaking views!
Piedras Blancas Light Station
15 miles north of Cambria on a rugged, windswept coastal point rests the historic lighthouse, first illuminated in 1875 to guide mariners along the rocky California coast. Now a historic state park and wildlife sanctuary. A variety of tours are offered year-round, including sunset and whale-watching tours. Tours are offered every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning year-round.
Elephant Seal Vista Point (Northern Seal Rookery)
Elephant Seals have inhabited the coast of Highway 1 for years, and they continue to be a famous stop while visitors are in the Cambria area. Say hi while you're in town!
Hearst Castle Visitor Center
Reserve tickets online up to 60 days in advance to tour Hearst Castle, a museum unlike any other in the US. Explore W. R. Hearst’s personal collection of rare works of art via guided Hearst Castle tour.
Morro Bay
Morro Bay is a coastal city in California. Among other things, it’s known for Morro Rock, an ancient volcanic mound at the end of Morro Rock Beach. The rock sits within Morro Bay State Park, home to lagoons, trails and a bird-rich saltwater marsh. Overall the bay is a special place, particularly to central Californians.
The Shell Shop
Since 1955 the Thomas family has owned and operated The Shell Shop in Morro Bay, California. It’s exactly what it sounds like, and is very very cute. Walking distance to Morro Rock!
Harmony Pottery Works
Really cool pottery shop located in the tiny town of Harmony, CA (population: 18)
Black Hand Cellars Tasting
A sweet little Nantucket-style building houses the Blackhand Cellars Tasting Room, where the Banish family sells their handmade wines. Winemaker Tom Banish was in the fishery business before shifting into the wine industry. He has worked for many of the Central Coast’s most prestigious wineries including JUSTIN, Zenaida, and Treana. It’s very likely he’ll be your guide in the tasting room, sharing stories of his days on the water, and in the cellar.
