Cambria's pine forests, rugged coastline, and proximity to Hearst Castle make it the county's North Coast gateway, and a frequent stop for aerial tourism and real estate work.
Local Context
Cambria's Moonstone Beach boardwalk and the pine-forested bluffs above it create a coastal look distinct from the sandier beaches further south. The town also serves as the gateway to the dramatic coastline stretching north toward Big Sur, which lies outside San Luis Obispo County but is sometimes included as an add-on coverage area for clients shooting along that same stretch of Highway 1.
