The best places in Cambria, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Cambria Beach Lodge comes out on top.
-
Moonstone Beach Drive runs right along the Pacific here, and the Cambria Beach Lodge sits on it like a classic Highway 1 roadside motel that got a thoughtful refresh. Cambria itself occupies a quiet stretch of central coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles that most people drive through without stopping, which is more or less the point. The kind of place you find when you finally pull off.

Nina Freudenberger's Danish-modernist touch sits just across from Moonstone Beach, where the Central Coast fog rolls in and nobody particularly minds. White Water is a boutique hotel designed for people who drove up the 1 to disappear for a few days, not to post about it. The rooms are calm and considered, the kind of place that makes you remember why you packed a paperback.
