"The Cambria Beach Lodge was our last stop on our two week roadtrip. The hotel is super cute, the room spacious and the beds and shower wonderful. Breakfast in the morning was in the lobby which was delicious with several flavor cakes, oatmeal, fruit, boiled eggs and orange juice/coffee/tea. the Lodge is directly across the beach and boardwalk. It's absolutely gorgeous. We brought our little dog and he had a fabulous time too. We definitely will be back."

"The view was exceptional! Right on Moonstone Beach, sitting on the balcony with a coffee was a wonderful way to spend the morning. Breakfast was okay - tasty pastries and decent coffer. The room was large but did not have the best layout. For example, the TV was in an area that made it difficult to view from the beds. The fireplace was a nice touch. The ants (due to water issues according to the information provided) were unpleasant as they were in the beds. The beds were terrible. They were up very high and so soft that each one sunk in on all sides, making it difficult to get comfortable. Despite the flaws, the view made it all worthwhile!"

When is the best time to go to Cambria?
The best time to go to Cambria is during the late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) months when the weather is consistently pleasant, and the crowds are generally smaller.During late spring, you'll experience mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C, making it ideal for exploring the coastal trails and enjoying outdoor activities. The "May Gray" and "June Gloom" fog often lift by late morning, leading to sunny afternoons. This period is also excellent for wildflower viewing, especially along the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.Early autumn offers similarly comfortable weather, with average temperatures from 18°C to 22°C. The ocean is at its warmest, which is lovely for beach strolls, and the air is often clearer, providing excellent visibility for scenic drives along Highway 1. This time also avoids the peak summer tourist season, allowing for a more relaxed experience at local shops and restaurants.While summer (July-August) brings the warmest weather, it also sees the largest crowds and higher accommodation prices. Winter (November-April) can be cooler and wetter, but it's a good time for whale watching and viewing the elephant seals at Piedras Blancas, just north of Cambria.
