SUMMARY:North Coast: California Bumble Bee Atlas Field Event at Piedras Blancas Light Station
DESCRIPTION:Step into the world of citizen science along one of the most scenic stretches of the Central Coast. \nThe California Bumble Bee Atlas Field Event brings together community members\, naturalists\, and conservation partners for a hands-on experience tracking and documenting native bumble bees. Hosted at the historic Piedras Blancas Light Station just north of Cambria\, this event is part of a statewide effort led by the Xerces Society to better understand and protect California’s pollinators. \nParticipants will learn how to safely observe and identify bumble bees in the field\, contribute to real scientific data collection\, and explore the coastal habitat where these important species live and forage. It’s a rare opportunity to take part in meaningful conservation work while spending time outdoors in one of the most beautiful locations on the North Coast. \nNo prior experience is required\, just curiosity and a willingness to explore. \nRegistration is required to participate. Check-in will take place at the Highway 1 entrance gate\, and additional details will be provided to registered participants ahead of the event. \nFor more local events and experiences\, explore the full HelloCambria events calendar or browse our guide to things to do in Cambria.

SUMMARY:North Coast: Meet the Scientists at Piedras Blancas Light Station
DESCRIPTION:Once a year\, Piedras Blancas Light Station opens its gates for a morning that feels closer to a working research field day than a typical lecture series.\nMeet the Scientists brings the public face to face with the marine biologists\, ecologists\, and conservation specialists who study this stretch of the Central Coast year round. \nThe 2026 lineup features the NOAA gray whale survey team\, a speaker from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary\, and a representative from the Central California Marine Animal Response Team sharing the latest research on marine mammal diseases along the Central Coast. The setting alone is worth the trip. Piedras Blancas sits on a rugged\, windswept point about six miles north of Hearst Castle\, surrounded by the California Coastal National Monument and home to elephant seals\, sea otters\, seabirds\, and migrating whales. Lunch is served after the talks. \nThis is a great morning for naturalists\, families with curious kids\, and anyone who has ever stopped at the elephant seal vista and wondered what the scientists down the coast are actually working on. Reservations are required and space tends to fill quickly. To register\, visit piedrasblancas.org/events or follow the registration link from the Piedras Blancas Light Station Instagram post. \nIf you are planning a coastal day\, there is plenty more along the North Coast worth your time. The full HelloCambria event calendar is the easy way to see what else is happening.

SUMMARY:North Coast: Elephant Seal Rookery Junior Ranger Program
DESCRIPTION:Kids can earn a California State Park Junior Ranger badge right at the edge of one of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles on the Central Coast.\nEvery Tuesday through the summer\, State Park interpreters set up at the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery in Hearst San Simeon State Park with a hands-on craft or activity\, and families are welcome to drop in anytime between 10:30 and 11:30 AM. \nThe program runs at the State Park table at the southern end of the Elephant Seal Rookery parking lot. It’s free\, parking is free\, and it’s geared for ages 7 to 12\, though the rookery itself is a draw for all ages. While you’re there\, the boardwalk overlooks hundreds of elephant seals hauled out on the beach\, so it’s easy to pair the Junior Ranger activity with some of the best wildlife viewing the coast has to offer. All children must be accompanied by an adult. \nThis is a wonderful\, low-key way to spend a Tuesday morning up the North Coast with the family. No registration needed\, just show up. \nHeading up the coast this summer?

SUMMARY:North Coast: Piedras Blancas Hike-In Open House
DESCRIPTION:Hike in to the Piedras Blancas Light Station for an open house on the bluffs\, where an easy coastal trail leads to one of the most striking spots on the North Coast.\nPack a picnic and spend the late morning wandering the lighthouse grounds between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Docents and staff are on hand to answer questions about the light station’s history and the local ecology\, and the gift shop is open. It is a relaxed\, self-paced way to take in the beauty of this Outstanding Natural Area. \nThis is a hike-in event\, so do not drive directly to the light station. Start your hike at the elephant seal viewing area parking lot 1.5 miles south of the light station\, or the vista point parking lot 1 mile to the north. Including the half-mile trail around the grounds\, the round-trip hike is 3 miles from the north and 4 miles from the south. Directions and a map are at piedrasblancas.org. \nEntry is free\, with a suggested donation of $5 per person to support restoration and maintenance. Please note: no pets\, no smoking\, no bicycles\, no drones\, and stay on the trail. \nHeading up the coast this summer? See what else is happening on the HelloCambria events calendar.
