San Simeon, Naked Ladies and Incredible Sandwiches

Just a few miles drive north, from Cambria, are some of the best deli sandwiches you can find on the Central Coast at Sebastian's in Old San Simeon. As you near the Hearst Castle turn off, go to the left instead of right. Don't go into the park but stay on the side road until you see this lil ole school house in the middle of the field and a dozen or so picnic tables just waiting for you to set down with your sandwich in hand to enjoy.

The pink flowers you see are known as "Naked Ladies" and are found all over the Cambria and San Simeon area this time of year.

Hidden Treasures in Cambria - Secret Gardens?

I could not decide which of these photos to include as part of a series I will be adding occasionally of "Hidden Treasures" in Cambria. Which do you prefer? These are both a small part of the extraordinary gardens you can find at Cambria Pines Lodge. Fountains, spheres, critters and peace surround the Lodge. 

Did you know the Lodge has a wonderful restaurant available to the public?... I have enjoyed their salad bar for lunch on many an occasion and have never had a less than exceptional meal when I come by for dinner.

Rest and Refresh in Cambria's Front Yard...

Looking for a place to rest and refresh? Take a leisurely walk along the Fiscalini
Ranch where you can embrace the clean ocean breezes and marvel at the beautiful, natural, landscape. Hand crafted benches are found along the bluff walk way and offer a unique place to enjoy the quiet, calm restorative ambiance of the surf, the sun, the sea.

Shopping in Cambria, a Unique Experience!

Looking for just the right gift that can't be found on a huge department store shelf?.... Something that special someone would relate to instantly and keep as a treasure forever.... You must visit our shops. 

We have two main areas for shopping: East and West Village. Hand crafted gifts, unique creations, artistic reproductions and gifts made just for fun. You can't miss the Teresabelle Gallery in the West end for fun and fantastic or Exotic Nature for aromatic and healing oils, fascinating jewelry and comfortable clothes. Or venture to the East end of the village to experience the Heart's Ease Shop for natural herbs, lotions, soaps, plants and even spices. Their spice and potpourri room is worth the trip to just stand and savor the aroma then fill a bag and take it home. Another East village favorite is A Matter of Taste in Cambria. You will not believe the amount of gourmet foods, seasonings, cookware, servingware and just plain fun gadgets you will find in this incredible shop! 

There are dozens of shops in between that are just fun to visit. Do a little wine tasting while you browse and enjoy a gourmet meal at one of many restaurants scattered between the shopping delights.... more to come on that....

Explore Leffingwell Landing in Cambria

Everyday events in Cambria include exploring the area and all the natural wonders Cambria has to offer. One of my favorite areas to explore is at the very edge of Leffingwell Landing. The rock formations are fascinating and, when the tide is low, offer a multitude of micro villages of plant life and sea creatures you can view. Leffingwell Landing is at the north end of Moonstone Beach which is the north end of Cambria.

Shown here is a brief video of that area. I hope you enjoy these photos and videos. If so, don't forget to share with your friends on Facebook.
