Went in early November , beautiful sunny day. The boardwalk is amazing for a nice walk beachside and not difficult to get to from the road. Parking was off the side of the road and easy to find. There were stairs down to the beach and a large amount of driftwood in the beach that people had made creative structures out of. Did not find any moonstones but the rocks on the beach are colorful. Would go back, highly recommend.

This place is one of my favorite places to go when I want to go for a quick getaway and feel like so far away from everything and forget that you’re just a little more than a couple of drives away from Los Angeles county. The view of the ocean is so beautiful and sound of the waves makes me feel so peaceful! When walking on the boardwalk , it feels like I’m walking on a garden of Eden. I’m actually at a loss for words to describe the beauty and the profound feelings I have whenever I’m actually walking the boardwalk. I actually enjoyed the walk with my partner this time. The beautiful plants, trees and vines that are along the boardwalk gives you another kind of beautiful sensation that you feel! The flowers also bloomed that gave so much color to the amazing walks we made on the boardwalk. Truly amazing!
You must try and visit this place one day. It’s beautiful, clean and very beautiful. People are walking with their dogs and babies and are very friendly!

Conveniently situated if you are staying at either of the coastal hotels or at the Cambria village. Very well maintained for the needed environmental sustainability and nature habitats. The boardwalk stretches all the way to a nice and small wooded park area. Park area gives you access to the beach and water. Expect lots of squirrels that are accustomed to hamans. At the road side you can also get to feel the small coastal town vibe.

This approximately 1-1.5mi boardwalk has forested views on one end and bluff views on the other, with nature doing its thing everywhere in between. We saw cotton-tail rabbits, brush bunnies, and various coastal birds and caught a squirrel chowing down on a Pride of Madeira like it was corn on the cob. No sea life, but enjoyed watching the surfers from various lookouts along the path. If there was a show to be had by whales this would be a great place to see it.

The boardwalk has ample space for 2-4 people to walk side by side. Parking was easy on an April Sunday morning. At one point toward the bluff parking lot it got a bit narrower but would comfortably fit walkers and a wheelchair with caution. This boardwalk does not allow bikes despite other trail apps saying it does. The path is well maintained with varieties of coastal shrubs, trees, and a ton of wildflowers. Lots of leashed dogs, though if yours is at all reactive I recommend keeping it home as there is not enough space to allow others to pass while stepping aside.

Highly recommended taking a walk down the boardwalk and visiting the beach. The view from the boardwalk is beautiful with a lot of native flora to view and the beach itself is wonderful with tide pools and colorful rocks making up the sand.

We walked on this boardwalk from Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill to Shameless Park. It is an easy hike with beautiful landscape and oceanview. We went on a weekday early afternoon and it wasn’t busy.
