Situated on California's Central Coast, Cambria's position puts it right in the sweet spot of California's climate. It's a year-round destination with mild weather—highs rarely climb past the mid-80s or fall under the mid-60s. Summers are busy with vacationing families, and coastal breezes keep the weather cool even in peak season. While both the spring and fall shoulder seasons are ideal for avoiding crowds, fall temperatures are generally warmer. Come in December to check out holiday lights at nearby Hearst Castle, or in February or March to see newborn pups at the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery.
