There’s no better time to fill your heart than the beginning of a new year, and there isn’t a better place to do it than on the Central Coast. Cambria is quiet and crowd-free during the winter months, which makes it the perfect destination for a romantic getaway or a soul-filling solo escape. Pack your coziest sweater to keep you warm, a camera to capture the memories, and your favorite mask—then follow your heart to Cambria.
Observe the splendor of our local animals
The Central Coast’s wildlife peaks during the months of January and February, making it the Season of Coastal Discovery. Hundreds of newborn elephant seal pups lie at the Piedra Blancas Rookery, an exotic herd of zebras grazes the fields at Hearst Ranch, and the California Grey Whale is in migration, providing plenty of whale watching opportunities on the Whale Trail. Keep an eye out for dolphins, seals, and otters, too!
Let your heart lead you to the ocean
Take a long, romantic walk along the cliffs of Fiscalini Ranch or head to Moonstone Beach to feel the sand beneath your feet. The breathtaking views of Fiscalini Ranch will make your heart feel like it’s soaring, and the waves of Moonstone Beach will soothe any soul who chooses to walk its shores. Pause for a photo, or just pause, period.
