It's free and open every day, and a boardwalk along a long stretch of beach ensures lots of space to check out the fascinating creatures. There can be up to 17,000 elephant seals onshore in the area at peak times; the best viewing occurs at various points between October and May, but you can spot the animals year-round.

Whales – humpbacks, grays and blue whales, the largest animal ever to live on Earth – migrate within view of shore. Hundreds of birds fly overhead, and visitors to Hearst San Simeon State Park can scan the skies and waterways for a plethora of rarer winged visitors as well as the more common shorebirds.<br /></p> <p>Visitors also won't want to miss a more unexpected wildlife viewing experience: the herd of wild zebras that grazes peacefully in the area, left over from the private zoo of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Nearby, the former Hearst residence, now a museum, is a study in opulence.

Perched above the village on large, tree-covered grounds from which guests can descend a staircase into the village, the lodge includes rooms and suites with kitchenettes, as well as a pool and hot tub, full breakfast, restaurant and lounge.</p> <p>Cambria is composed of an East Village and a West Village, both of which are worth exploring for their historic architecture, art galleries and unique shops. You'll likely find gifts for anyone on your list among the many boutiques. Visit the Best Kept Secret shop for an eye-catching selection of jewelry, clothing and more – including artistic women's tops by California clothing designer Jess & Jane. </p> <p>When you need a break, you'll find several local coffee and sweets shops to refresh you. The sheep's milk ice cream carried at Dolce Salato is luxurious; fans of fruity flavors won't want to miss their popular strawberry-basil or blackberry-rosemary flavors, while salted caramel and horchata lovers (respectively) will find the salted brown sugar and cinnamon honey flavors hard to resist.</p> <figure><img data-image="24869152-1618623545" data-src="https://patch.com/img/cdn20/users/24869152/20210416/093858/styles/raw/public/processed_images/slo.jpg" data-sizes="(min-width: 780px) 726px, 100vw" data-srcset="https://patch.com/img/cdn20/users/24869152/20210416/093858/styles/raw/public/processed_images/slo.jpg?width=640 640w, https://patch.com/img/cdn20/users/24869152/20210416/093858/styles/raw/public/processed_images/slo.jpg?width=726 726w" /><br /><em>The hills around San Luis Obispo offer uncrowded hiking rare in the Bay. </em>Photo by Laila Weir</figure> <p><strong>Side Trip:</strong></p> <p>The area around Cambria alone will keep travelers occupied, but for a longer trip it's worth making the drive about an hour south to the comparatively large town of San Luis Obispo, home of Cal Poly. The downtown combines the vibrancy of a college town with the old-style charm of Mission-era California, and the area has lots of beach recreation options. Pismo Beach is a more-developed coastal playground, with swings and volleyball on the beach near a large pier, and a bit south the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area allows visitors to drive ATVs around the dunes. Hiking in the hills around SLO reveals quiet meadows and multitudes of spring wildflowers.<br /></p></div><div class="js-ad ContentBlocks_CardDetail__AdBlock__GpVT1"><div id="client_ad_dfp_mobile_slot_4" class="ad ad--styled-margin ad--preview"></div></div><div class="styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k"><p><strong>Where to Stay: </strong>Check out the palatial Madonna Inn for a full-service resort with one-of-a-kind suites; for a budget option the nearby Vagabond Inn is a clean motel with a surprisingly nice pool area.

Pismo Beach is a more-developed coastal playground, with swings and volleyball on the beach near a large pier, and a bit south the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area allows visitors to drive ATVs around the dunes.
