About This Beach
Moonstone Beach in Cambria is named for the smooth, polished stones (moonstones, jade, and jasper) that wash up on its shores. A scenic one-mile wooden boardwalk parallels this narrow stretch of beach, offering easy access for visitors to admire breathtaking ocean views and observe local wildlife including seals, sea otters, and dolphins. The beach features fascinating tide pools rich with marine life during low tide, while nearby accommodations and restaurants make it a perfect coastal getaway. The beach is particularly renowned for its spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.
