LUNCH AND PIE, OH MY
Having taken in the town, it’s time for a plate of something fresh, whether
that’s a tandoori chicken salad at globally-inspired Robin’s Restaurant, a
world-class pastrami sandwich at The Café on Bridge Street or a slice of leek
and goat cheese tart at Indigo Moon. Want to concoct your own lunch? Head
to Soto’s True Earth Market, a historic grocer with the soul of a health food
store. After lunch, make your way to Linn’s Restaurant for a slice of their
beloved pie made from olallieberries (oh-LAH-lih-berr-ees), which thrive in
Cambria and resemble blackberries.
GO VINTAGE IN CAMBRIA
Just up the road in the quaint seaside hamlet of
Cambria, artists’ galleries, antique stores and
boutiques abound. Wander the east or west ends
of Main Street and find plenty to scratch your
shopping itch, or visit specific spots like eclectic
consignment shop Encore, zen boutique Muse or
Rich Man, Poor Man Antique Mall.
TAKE A STROLL
Hop on over to Moonstone Beach
Drive and catch the trailhead for
the Moonstone Beach Boardwalk, a
2.85-mile (round trip) shoreline stroll
that takes in tide pools brimming
with sea stars, anemones and crabs
and ends at Moonstone Beach,
known for its smooth sand, roaring
waves, “moonstones” and top-notch
beachcombing.
Ready to take a break from all that
walking around? Find your seat at
Centrally Grown, a restaurant, bar,
market and hangout with jaw-dropping
views and rambling gardens where you
can grab a beer, soak up the sun and
play some cornhole. >
