Perfect Highway 1 Road Trip on CA’s Central Coast
Cambria is located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. This tiny coastal gem turns a quick stop for gas into a weekend. So, get out your calendars.
The vibe? Friendly locals, a little artsy, a little quirky in the best way. Also, public art pops up everywhere.
Plan Your Day
Start your morning with a buttery pastry and coffee, and forget the plan. Just get out there and explore.
You’ll find vintage treasures, well-priced antiques, and gift shops. Suddenly, you remember everyone’s birthday. And don’t forget yourself! Take in the plant shops, and vintage finds. And there’s tucked-away finds you didn’t know you needed.
Look Around
The architecture feels like it’s been preserved in a time capsule, storybook cottages, weathered wood, and a pace that invites you to slow down. And yes, there are plenty of great restaurants when you’re ready to refuel.
Scenic Highway One
Even better? California State Route 1 is finally open again after years of closures, and the entire Central Coast is welcoming travelers back.
While you’re mapping your route, make it a full coastal adventure with stops in San Luis Obispo, Hearst Castle, and Pismo Beach.
Enjoy your road trip. You deserve it!
