You can also get out on the water here with outfitters offering surfing, sailing, and fishing experiences.
Though it is on the smaller side, the town of Cambria has a long history that has been preserved by Historical Society volunteers working to retain homes, storefronts and places of worship that date back to the 1870s. The most recognizable landmark near Cambria, however, is Hearst Castle. The luxurious and beautifully-crafted structure dates back centuries and encompasses a vast area of land.
