Cambria

Cambria is where art meets ocean—think windswept pines, rugged coastline, and cozy homes tucked into the trees. It’s the Central Coast’s moody, magical escape.

Cambria: The Central Coast’s Storybook Seaside Town

Cambria feels like a secret whispered between the redwoods and the sea. Just off Highway 1, this charming coastal village is a blend of wild beauty, creative energy, and small-town soul. It’s where artists, retirees, and nature lovers all find a little breathing room—and some seriously inspiring views.

Tucked between Moonstone Beach and the pine-studded hills, Cambria’s neighborhoods are anything but cookie-cutter. You'll find storybook cottages, custom hillside homes, and ocean-view retreats—often hidden among the Monterey pines or perched with panoramic views of the Pacific.

There’s no big-box anything here, and that’s exactly the point. The East and West Villages offer local shops, art galleries, coffeehouses, and cozy restaurants with that warm, we-know-your-name feel. The vibe is a mix of NorCal forest town and SoCal coast, with a little Mendocino meets Big Sur thrown in.

Outdoor adventures are everywhere—Fiscalini Ranch Preserve has blufftop trails with jaw-dropping views, and Moonstone Beach is a favorite for tidepooling, sunset strolls, and collecting—you guessed it—shimmering moonstones.

Real estate in Cambria draws buyers looking for peace, character, and something a little off the beaten path. Whether you're after a weekend escape, a full-time home, or a creative hideout, Cambria offers a rare kind of quiet magic.

At BH Realty, we’ll help you find a place that fits the lifestyle, the land, and your love for all things coastal and a little wild.
