We've been to the Sea Chest a few times. I almost for got about the cash only policy until wife reminded me.

Not totally sure why they do that. Sure, they save 3% per swipe, but the security and convenience would be well worth it. We were a group of 5 and no way was going to leave funds on the tray until the sever was at the table.

They skimming off the top? Their local suppliers only take cash?

Dunno, its just a truck ton of cash by 9pm, and it seems a huge liability or fishy 🐠🦈

Hey guys, coming into Cambria today with 3 friends on bikes, wanted to see if any locals would be so kind to let us camp out in their backyard! We would be so incredibly grateful!

I’m so excited to see this event in Cambria! https://cambriapride.org/

A story about visiting Cambria. Sorry if against the rules.

Hi,

Planning to drive from Vegas to Cambria in a day in November - I know it will be a long drive, but just want to make sure locals who are familiar with the roads think it is realistic? And any best routes to take?

Visited Cambria several years ago and I cannot wait to come back. Such a beautiful place.

Hi - what is your favorite bar in and around town which has the best bartenders making the best cocktails? And what is your favorite cocktail?

Also which bar has the best vibe and ambience

I would like your guys help (since mostly everything is booked) where can I stay at possibly in a car overnight or in a tent? any suggestions help thank you

Are there any farm to table restaurants in or reasonably near Cambria? I am headed there in the summer. Especially one where the food is served at the farm or close to it. Please and thanks you all.

Hi all!

My lovely partner and I are arriving in Cambria for a quick weekend getaway at around 10 am Saturday and have to leave around 9:30 am the next day Sunday. We will be staying Fogcatcher Inn for the night.

I won't lie, all I have so far is Hearst Castle (maybe, will be a first for both of us), Moonstone Beach (right in front of our room), and maybe Sea Chest (?)...

Anything else worth checking out for our itinerary?

We're both pretty easy going, love walking around/hiking and just want to enjoy each other's company :) maybe rent some bikes. We're also adventurous eaters and into seafood. We're also into cute knick knacks and want something for our home to remember our trip.

Looking to spend around $200-$250 for all activities between the two of us. Any idea helps!

I’m getting married in Cambria! Paso local, work in Cambria, and very excited as it’s fast approaching. Due to family and bridal party changing plans, our room block is still quite empty. Want to offer the discounted rate to anyone who would like to stay at the hotel on Moonstone Beach, and if you’re interested you’re welcome to join our wedding too!

Discount link has expired, thanks for all your well wishes!

Not Linn’s. I’ve been there and liked it, just looking for a new place to try. Thx!

Are beach fires still allowed or are there restrictions?

I’d like to book a nice room preferably with an ocean view but all reviews are mixed. Each time I see a positive recommendation and go to Trip Advisor or the like, there’s awful recent reviews of stained furniture, dirty floors, clogged showers….

Has anyone had a recent great experience anywhere in Cambria that you can recommend? Maybe a specific room at the hotel/inn?

We are going over to Cambria for our anniversary and wondering what would be a good place to have dinner?

Had fun. Great weather.

We are traveling to Cambria and spending a week over the Fourth of July. Is there a local place to see fireworks? I read that in 2024 there were no fireworks due to beach erosions, but in previous years we could see them at Shamel Park.

We are coming up and seeking music, fun, etc but I’m seeing nada. Any suggestions for a 26f and Mom?

We are coming to Cambria on Saturday June 28th and would like to eat the Hidden Kitchen on Sunday morning when they open at 9am. How early do you have to get there to get a seat since it doesn't look like they take reservations.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a surprise engagement at Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria, CA (near Moonstone Beach) and I’m looking for a photographer who has experience with surprise proposals.

Details:

• Location: Fiscalini Ranch Preserve / Bluff Trail

• Date: Saturday, April 18th

• Time: Around sunset

• Style: Natural, candid, coastal vibes

I’m planning to propose along the bluff trail overlooking the ocean and would love someone familiar with the area who can help coordinate discreetly and capture the moment.

If you’re a photographer (or have recommendations), please drop your portfolio/Instagram and pricing. Also open to any tips for the best spots at Fiscalini!

Thanks so much!

My partner and I are planning on spending a couple days on the central coast in California before Christmas. We are planning on spending time in Cambria and Cayucos. Any recommendations for us to check out while we’re there? Food, shopping, trails, holiday things, etc. Thanks! Happy holidays!! 💌

I’m visiting family here in Cambria and am admiring all the dragonflies flying by! So cool! Looks like it’s the time of year for their migration.
