I love Cambria. My boyfriend and I found this place about 4 years ago. We fell in love with it so much that we go more than 5 times a year. He proposed to me at sunset by the love locks.

Born and raised in Cambria, ‘Main Street Grill’ Tri-Tip Sandwich is without a doubt the best food option in Cambria. Try it next time. Great Channel. 👍

@kevina5584 5 лет назад

Thank you! Planning a 2 week trip this summer and your videos have really helped me plan my itinerary. Things to do, where to do, what to eat, etc. My teenage daughters love your videos too. Your videos are so well edited and well paced. I like how you recommend something for everyone. Some of the best CA travel vlogs out there.

@Rocksider2525 2 года назад

Love this place like everyone else that's been there. Stayed in a little hotel at the north end that had a little 9 hole golf course(long gone) and walked with the kids all over that town and it's beaches. Great Rock finds and cliffs that we're amazing. Just a short drive to the elephant seals( plan a trip around seeing that) and the Hearst Castle, just a great place to see. The quaint little town of Cambria.....phenominal

@eva-nr2bs 5 лет назад

Thank you.

@2-old-Forthischet 4 года назад

I've visited Cambria twice and look forward to going back again. We parked our RV at an RV park right on the beach. I always visit the antique stores there as you can find some great stuff at low prices due to being outside of a major city.

@markmorris5880 2 года назад

My grandparents used to live in Cambria back in the 1970s and I spent all my Summers out there with them they lived off of Langton Street close to one of the writers for the Muppet Show who lived in Cambria also we spent all of our time fishing down in cayucos near Morro Bay and up at the San Simeon Pier great days!!

@Italionmex 5 лет назад

Another great video Josh and Amy. I always like you’re Central Coast videos. Even being a SLO local, I learn a lot from you’re recommendations. I never knew about the country fried steak. Country fried steak is one of my favorite comfort foods. I have a few places I like in the area. I am going to have it there in Cambria now. Boni’s tacos are also fantastic. Great recommendations for anyone coming to visit the central coast.

@SnipzSmooth 5 лет назад

Found by chance to spend the night on the way from san francisco to los angeles, a wonderful find, a place with a lot of charm. thank you very much for the insight into Hearst Castle. We were denied access in 2016 because of the great fire in the backcountry. The visitor station became a base station for the arriving firefighters and we were instructed to head back to the sea. Thank God the fire did not reach this wonderful property. Hearst Castle was then the place to be for the Hollywood stars, who received an invitation to the legendary parties was a lucky one. Many thanks for your great videos. Best wishes from Germany

@leominchala5295 5 лет назад

Loved the video!! Also, if you go to Cambria in the month of October you’ll see the Scarecrow Festival. It’s all over town.

@californiathroughmylens 5 лет назад

I have always wanted to see that but have never been there during the right time. Maybe this year!

@offcy3318 3 года назад

you gotta go during the fourth of july, massvei firework show on moonstone beach

Sea Chest restaurant on Moonstone is epic. No reservations. People start lining up about an hour before it opens for dinner. Cozy and great food.

@californiathroughmylens 5 лет назад

Hows the camping there?

@TravelSmallLiveBig 5 лет назад

California Through My Lens we like the sites up on the hill - nice views and far apart enough for us. The ones down in the flat section are ok - some nicer than others, but a bit close for us. Have always had a blast there! As we always do...

@kevina5584 5 лет назад

as always entertaining. Nit Wit Ridge, the poor man's hearst castle tour lol

funny we were just thinking about going there next weekend!! Thanks for all the recommendations we definitely want to try everything i hope one night and two days are enough .. i wanna try and eat that chicken steak looks really good hmmm yummy for my tummy!! 👍👍👍😘😘

As I'm from Wales (the other name for Cambria) I was fascinated by this video. I really enjoy your food reviews! When do we get to see "Top Ten Tastiest Bites in California"?

next time you'll have to set up a tour of the Chinese Temple with Greenspace at Creekside Reserve or check out the Strawberry Canyon trail!

@stephaniec.2520 2 года назад

We are from California but live in Tennessee now. Cambria has always been one of my favorite spots in the world & it was such fun to join you there for a little while. If COVID ever ends, I would love to travel & enjoy the places in Cambria & San Simeon that you are suggesting. Sorry if name icon comes up 2x. Some sort of computer glitch we don't know how to fix.

@cidifede1 5 лет назад

I love your channel. Keep up all of the great work. It shows in your editing. Let me know if you are ever in Napa again. I have a restaurant here and we would love to host you and Amy.

@thedailydaily 3 года назад

Cambria is a beautiful place. Moonstone beach, Nit Whit Ridge, and the small business are all beautiful. If you have the time. If you have time I highly recommend going to Harmony Pop. 18, they have a local creamery pottery shop and glass studio. The central coast is a beautiful place.

@stardustgirl2904 4 года назад

We stay at the little yellow house in Cambria, it's travel themed,and very affordable for a house rental. If you're going in a large group, renting a vacation home is a great option! You can split the cost!

i used to work at the castle if you go don't forget to see the movie and for the love of god don't try and pet the elephant seals we had a guy have his arm taken off, also best place to eat in that whole town is the main street grill.
