Step on down to the beach...

These steps take you down to Moonstone Beach... soft sand, cool breezes, refreshing air.... the north end of Cambria off Highway One.

Below kayaking can be found at the San Simeon cove (just across from the entrance to Hearst Castle). After a relaxing and refreshing kayak trek you must stop by Sebastian's for one of the best deli sandwiches you will EVER run across.

Spring in Cambria

Cambria is well into spring, with flowers blooming and the weather conducive to long hours in my adirondack chair on the back deck. Here are a few of our neighbors who hang around the house and nearby boardwalk.

We enjoy deer cruising the streets and yards, raccoons rummaging for goodies, fox lurking in the shadows, squirrels jumping from tree to tree, dozens of birds (they particularly like our bird bath), turkeys on parade, an occasional skunk usually evident by their trace of perfume, on rare occasions a sunbathing mountain lion, the moles and voles... not so much we see them and not so much fun to see.

Our forests and shores are inhabited by such a variety of interesting wildlife that often surprise you when they come out to play within a few feet of where you sit or walk.

Have you enjoyed any particular interesting wildlife sightings? Share your experiences with me. I love to hear from visitors and locals alike regarding their personal Cambria joys.

Reflect, Rejoice, Rejoin....

I'm a bit late in adding a new photo to my blog. Gets busy in Cambria, when you let it. This image is a remote spot in Cambria's front yard which I enjoy from time to time. The waves stroll in as I reflect on how quickly time goes by and how often we just do not get around to those experiences we mean to do, but don't quite find the good sense to get done.

The next big "do" in Cambria will be the "Holidays in the Pines". A month of celebrations and events. I will share some Christmas Light photos from days gone by and invite you to visit for unique shopping adventures and wonderful dining experiences.

Don't forget to get your tickets for the Art & Wine Festival in January. We sold out last year and the Kick Off Party is selling fast. Visit CambriaArtWine.org for all the details.

I hope you enjoy my photos and would appreciate hearing from you.

Moonstone Beach in Fall... a lovely time of year.

Our beaches are clean and breathtaking. An ideal place to rest and rejuvenate after a long hot summer.

Stop by in October and you will have the joy of seeing over 200 hand made scarecrows positioned throughout the villages. Everything from Pirates to Nuns.... The scarecrows will be up the entire month of October and will take you more than a day to see them all! So, book a room, enjoy a few gourmet meals and make your way through our villages and the Moonstone Beach drive for an incredible assortment of creations guaranteed to delight and cause wonder.

Where the Pines Meet the Sea...

One of the unique elements of the Cambria California area is the absolutely beautiful forests that surround the villages and meet the sea. You can hike to your hearts content through the forest down to the beach, along the bluff and back again. Enjoy the wonderful combination of trees and shore, sights and sounds that offer a calming and extraordinary taste of nature not found anywhere else on the Central Coast. Visit SeeCambria.com to see more and learn more of what Cambria has to offer as the perfect vacation destination for a refreshing and relaxing holiday... Add to that gourmet foods to excite your taste buds and unique galleries and shops to be fascinated by original creations and compelling gifts.

First Day of Summer in Cambria, let's walk...

Any wonder why I live here? Now is the time to hike the dozens of trails to be had throughout Cambria from the bluffs, through the village. Walk the boardwalk along the edge of Moonstone Beach. About half way take a rest at Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill to sip a glass of wine or enjoy a great meal. Then head on down to the tide pools where you will be amazed by what our sea has to offer, not to mention the rascal seals basking in the sun watching you!

Stop by the Cambria Historical Society Museum on Burton for a book of historical walks guided by the experts. While you are there enjoy the beautiful gardens of the museum which was lovingly restored by the Historical society in 2008. The orginal home had been built in 1870. I will leave the details for you to discover on your own!

Discover Cambria, a charming village with the quiet and ambiance of yesteryear and the beauty and excitement of the best nature has to offer.
