After a weekend getaway, you now make me think of 3 words: Rest and Relaxation!

I enjoy your food and I love the fact that I could lay out on the front lawn of Cambria Shores Inn and know I'm not missing out on a whole lot if I totally fall asleep in the sun while listening to the ocean waves crash against the rocks.  

It's the perfect place to get away from a busy city (San Francisco) and enjoy the ocean and the locals who make this their home 365 days a year.

I enjoy your Moonstone Beach, your various good food, though I have yet to check out the little shops.  Part of me doesn't think I'm missing much, but there's always a next time.  

The folks are friendly and always said hi.  I love that in small communities.  It makes me feel at home even when on a little vacation.

Thanks Cambria for your friendliness, beauty and quietness for I'll be back year after year when I need a little escape by the sea.

Quixotic Cambria, with your curmudgeons, kooks, hippies & hicks, I will always love you, though sometimes in spite of yourself.

With your growth limited by water access, you've managed to stay humble, despite former locals such as myself blabbing to way too many people about you. More authenticity remains still than slick, spendy Carmel, but I cringe at the proliferation of cutesy gift shops the tourist dollars have fueled.

One question though, and this is from one who bemoaned your demographic homogeneity back in the 80's - What's with all the frikkin magicians?!?
