The picturesque town of Cambria is located just south of San Simeon State Park, California, one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in the state park system. The dramatic splendor of this portion of the central coast is one of California's best kept secrets. With unspoiled beaches and dramatic nature trails, this uniquely beautiful area offers pristine coastlines and dazzling vistas.

Cambria can be divided into three distinct sections. The East Village, where Main Street crosses Burton Drive and Bridge Street, forms part of the town center. About 2 miles from the coast, the East Village is comprised of beautiful old Victorians houses that date back to the 1870s. Many of these are now home to art galleries, shops, boutiques, bookstores, fine restaurants and inns.
