Day 17 - Tuesday, April 6 - Cambria



We spent today exploring the little town of Cambria - a slower day after the big day of travelling down the coast on Monday. We started with a walk along the small cliff at the end of our street. The upper edges have been planted with a variety of wildflowers.
The beach is grey sand/gravel - like a lot of the beaches in England and parts of Europe. I always find it really odd to be on a beach that is not sandy white/yellow. The girls enjoyed paddling in the small estuarine creek that runs alongside the main beach and into the ocean. They said the water was freezing - personally I wasn’t risking it.
The beach is a driftwood preservation area, so it was covered in beautiful huge whitened logs and other things thrown up from the sea.
We then spent the afternoon exploring the interesting galleries and shops of Cambria before walking back to the house via a trail through some woods.
