One of the original California hot tub places. Most of the tubs are outdoors on a gorgeous Sycamore covered hillside, tucked away in little outdoor rooms.

Everybody's got to see this place at least once! Be sure to check out the bathrooms. It's a great spot for dessert. Black Forest cake was always a family favorite.

The mission is a great place to start a walk along the creek. Go over the bridge then right and down to the creek and walk along the creek for a couple of blocks. Kids love to play here.

Shopping

I like this little garden and herb shop in Cambria. The shop was started by Sharon Lovejoy, author of several imaginative gardening books, like "Sunflower Houses" and "Hollyhock Days."
