Long Canyon Panorama
Highway 1!! Most beautiful road trip I ever done... From San Diego to Santa Cruz!! USA
So you've just visited historic McWay Falls located in the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Now what, you might ask. If you're ready for more adventure then get back on the Pacific Coast Highway, and continue South about 25 miles to Sand Dollar Beach. It's a climb in and out, the ground is a little unsteady, and there are a whole lot of stairs to climb, but it's worth it. Here you'll want to linger and explore. You'll find plenty of talkative sea lions catching some sun on the rocks, a few sea birds, and maybe some otters! If the weather is just right, this is a great place to swim and surf! Be sure to look closely at the rocks on the beach, as the tide brings in some amazing sea life for you to discover. #BeachBound

We had a wonderful stay at the Cambria Pines Lodge. Our cottage was spacious with the added surprise of a herd of 12 deer lounging behind our patio fence each morning!

We were right on the cliff and views were phenomenal. Restaurant was excellent but a little disappointed at no cocktails, only beer and wine. Overall, a great location and we're going back!

This motel was in a great and easy location to be able to walk to everything from. The room was clean, but very basic, and a shelf or small table to put our toiletries on in the bathroom (and soap in the shower) would have been helpful!
