Welcome to Cayucos/Cambria

Cozy small town that is both scenic and secluded.
 
The charming seaside town of Cayucos is small (population 3,000), but the activities here are countless—surfing, swimming, and a range of diverse dining and shopping options are the area’s biggest draws. On the Cayucos Pier, rebuilt in 2015, you can whale-watch, fish, or snap pics of the impressive sunsets. 

Just 16 miles away, you’ll find Cambria, a remote retreat featuring white sand beaches, boutique hotels, and many historic attractions. Picnic spots have picturesque views, and walking, hiking, and biking trails are abundant. Visit the Old Santa Rosa Creek Road Chapel and journey through its gardens and cemetery. Witness the town’s charming Victorian architecture, some of which can be found on the National Register of Historic Places.
