cambria or santa barbara

Hi unfortunately we will not have enough time to visit all the places so need advise, should we stop over at Cambria or Santa Barbara. which is the best area.

Cambria is a pleasant little village with restaurants, B %26amp; Bs etc. fairly close to Hearst Castle which is a major attraction, see www.hearstcastle.com for info and reservations.



Santa Barbara, also pleasant, is a much larger town with a number of attractions including the old mission, court house, museum etc.



Personally, I would stay overnight in Cambria, assuming I had time to take at least one tour of Hearst Castle. Then I would at least drive by and stop in front of the old mission in Santa Barbara as well as stopping for a meal in Santa Barbara.

Both places are beautiful! What are your interests? There is the Mission, Stearn%26#39;s Wharf, the zoo, etc. in Santa Barbara. Cambria has Moonstone Beach, some nice shops and great restaurants. www.centralcoast.com :)




Spend some daylight hours around Cambria, seeing the village etc, but head down to Santa Barbara which will have plenty to do into the evening hours, open-late dining options etc.




I want to emphasize that Cambria, while pleasant enough is not really a significant attraction itself, but it is near Hearst Castle which is a major and unique attraction.
