What a find! We've been going to Cambria for several years and I don't know how we missed this. BEAUTIFUL trails with whimsical benches. Can't wait to go back. You can meander along the cliff trail and return on the upper trail.....or save one for another day. We brought a little snack and watched the waves. Easy easy walk for any age.

This is a great place to visit. The plants and flowers always look healthy and vibrant. There are little areas to explore, including a lovely gift shop. Their location is divided nicely into various areas...succulents, blooming plants, garden accessories. It is a fantastic place to visit in December when Cambria is having their annual Christmas Market. The employees are very helpful.

Great ocean views from a nice level walking trail. Most of the trail is level ground but sections are level wooden walk. Placed throughout the trail are great benches made with driftwood pieces that provide great views of the coastline. We leisurely walked on the clearly marked trail and and enjoyed the views of the coast, surf and sealions playing in the surf.

What’s better than the ocean. A nice park and public pool. BBQ pits, tables, grass field and then the beach. Moonstones, pebbles, ocean animals. Great relaxing and fun place
