Beachfront Location and Grounds
Cambria Shores Inn sits directly across from Moonstone Beach with a boardwalk and ocean access a 30-second walk away. The property has a large grassy area with Adirondack chairs spaced out for watching the sunset over the Pacific. Sun umbrellas and a sun terrace are available, and the inn offers a picnic area with outdoor furniture.

Complimentary Food and Drink
A breakfast basket is hung on the guest room door each morning between 8:30 and 9:00 am, containing orange juice, fruit, string cheese, and sweet bread.
