Cayucos
A retro surf town with a wooden pier reaching into the sea. Its beaches suit beginner surfers, and its signature treat is browned butter cookies.
Cayucos lies about 25 minutes' drive south of Cambria. In the 19th century it was a shipping port, and it still keeps its Western-style main street and old wooden pier. The wide beaches have gentle waves that suit beginners. You can rent boards and take lessons. The town has antique shops, bars, and the famous browned butter cookie shop. From here, head north on Highway 1 to walk the coastal trail at Estero Bluffs State Park.
