B and I had heard many good things about Cambria so we decided to take advantage of our location and stopped for lunch and a peek at the shops. Our first stop was lunch at the West End Bar and Grill. I had their calamari and chips and B enjoyed their clam chowder in a bread bowl. Yummy and not too pricey, about 10 bucks a plate! Cambria is a sweet little town that reminded me of Big Bear with its crisp air and cozy village. There are lot of places to stop in for a bite as well as shops to peruse.Lucia ApothecaryB and I stopped in this heavenly smelling shop and met the most delightful women. They were very so kind and treated B to the "manscrub." This was my kind of place, lots of fun lotions, scrubs, and clean smelling scents to enjoy.Cambria is a nice place to stop but to be honest I loved Cayucos more. I would recommend staying in Cayucos like we did ( bc it is centrally located to many other towns and also bc it is so darn adorable!) and heading to Cambria for lunch and a nice walk. The village itself is not right on the beach so if you are looking for ocean views during lunch this is not your spot. But if you are on Highway 1 coming heading south, this is a fabulous place to take a break, stretch your legs, enjoy the crisp ocean air and pick up some gifts for your loved ones.
You are one lucky girl! Your trip is my most road trip of all time and I've done it so many times I lost count years and years ago.
When I was first married in 1970, our honeymoon was traveling by car from L.A. to San Francisco. We had no itinerary and no timeline. We stopped when and where we wanted and it still is the best vacation I've ever had. Since then, I have traveled the SoCal coast so many times and I never get tired of it. There is always something new and exciting and the Pacific is the best ocean in the world for me. I can't wait to see more pics of your time in my favorite places.
If you're ever in the area during the week, don't miss the Farmer's Market in downtown San Luis Obispo on Thursday evenings. It is is a combination festival, farmer's market and BBQ feast! Trust me, I know you'll love it!
