What a find! We've been going to Cambria for several years and I don't know how we missed this. BEAUTIFUL trails with whimsical benches. Can't wait to go back. You can meander along the cliff trail and return on the upper trail.....or save one for another day. We brought a little snack and watched the waves. Easy easy walk for any age.

Great ocean views from a nice level walking trail. Most of the trail is level ground but sections are level wooden walk. Placed throughout the trail are great benches made with driftwood pieces that provide great views of the coastline. We leisurely walked on the clearly marked trail and and enjoyed the views of the coast, surf and sealions playing in the surf.

We fell in love with this winery while staying in Cambria. To be honest, I just booked a here because it was the closet winery to our vacation rental. We loved it so much that we visited a total of three times. I made a reservation to sit at a picnic table in their grassy area next to the tasting room. From the moment we got there, Katie made us feel like family. She was delightful. Stolo has done such a nice job of practicing safety protocols (social distant tables, masks, hand sanatizer). The view is amazing and the wine is great. I wish I was there right now enjoying a nice pinot noir and looking at the hillside.

After several visits to Cambria and attempts to find someone at Nitt Witt Ridge we finally drove by on this visit and saw a group of people touring the house. I waited at the gate until they came down and was informed by the owner Michael that he would be glad to take our group on a tour as soon as this one ended. The donation of ten dollars is well worth the very interesting walk around the unique property built into a hillside a few blocks off main street. You'll never see anything else quite like Nitt Witt or the story of how it came to be. Michael was an awesome guide and did a wonderful job of story telling, you could tell he enjoyed sharing his property. I HIGHLY recommend this attraction.
