Royal Wedding Hotel Specials
We have most definitely caught British royal fever here on the Central Coast. I’m not going to lie – I most certainly stayed up far past my bedtime to watch Will & Kate get married in the grandest fashion. It’s not something I would have wanted for myself (can you image 2 BILLION eyeballs on you

Sea Kayaking on the Central Coast
For those of you coming from land-locked states will be amazed by the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. It’s certainly a sight to be seen – deep blue, horizon for miles, wildlife galore. And all this from the coast. Imagine what you can see when you’re out IN the Pacific!

Visit Downtown Paso Robles
We go on and on about just how wonderful Cambria is. But the Central Coast is so much more than just Cambria – we have the lush wineries of Paso Robles, the expansive lake of Atascadero, the beach in Pismo and Avila, the shopping of San Luis Obispo. There is so much to do and hardly ever enough

Green Travel Guide & the El Colibri

Many of the readers of our blog may not be locals (though, I do hope some of you are) and may need some help with the ins-and-outs of Cambria before you make your way out for a visit. Cambria is a small, quaint town (or village if you prefer) but we have some incredible restaurants and other

We’ve already filled you in on all the great things that Hearst Castle has to offer both locals and tourists alike. But really, can you get enough of the experience? Come back for a second (or third or fourth) time for a glimpse into the less familiar aspects of the Castle.

Paso Robles Wine Fest
There are so many reasons to visit the Central Coast – seriously, I don’t think I can even name them all. There’s the great boutique shopping, the amazing weather, the gourmet food, the beaches, the beautiful landscapes, and the wine, just to name a few.
But if you’re headed into town from May 20 -
