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.

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: Get Into Your Sanctuary at the Coastal Discovery Center
DESCRIPTION:The Coastal Discovery Center in San Simeon marks 20 years with a free\, family-filled Get Into Your Sanctuary celebration on the shore of San Simeon Bay.\nSince 2006\, the Coastal Discovery Center has been a collaboration between NOAA’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and California State Parks\, and this Saturday it celebrates two decades of connecting people to the coast. The event is part of the national Get Into Your Sanctuary day\, with a full slate of free\, family-friendly activities from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nTry recreational fishing on the San Simeon Pier with the Cambria Fishing Club\, take a virtual 360-degree dive into Monterey Bay\, make ocean-themed arts and crafts\, and visit exhibitor booths from local agencies and community partners including California State Parks and the Central California Marine Animal Response Team. It is a wonderful way for families to explore the marine world right on the North Coast. \nThe Center sits just north of Cambria on Highway 1\, an easy and worthwhile trip. See what else is happening along the coast on the HelloCambria events calendar.

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:Cambria Scarecrow Festival
DESCRIPTION:Every October\, Cambria gives itself permission to get a little more playful.\nFor the full month\, more than 200 handmade scarecrows appear along Main Street\, beside storefronts and gardens\, down Moonstone Drive\, and out into San Simeon\, turning the whole town into a free\, self-guided walking tour of creativity and community spirit. Some are laugh-out-loud funny\, some are genuinely artful\, and a few have become local celebrities that visitors search out by name and greet like old friends year after year. \nWhat started in 2009 with just 30 scarecrows arranged around the Cambria Historical Society grounds\, inspired by a tiny scarecrow festival in Mahone Bay\, Nova Scotia\, has grown into one of the Central Coast’s most beloved fall traditions. It draws visitors from across California\, and yet it has never lost its handmade\, hometown feel. Businesses build their own characters\, residents volunteer their time\, and artists spend months crafting elaborate displays entirely by hand. The festival is free to enjoy\, though donations and the Friends of the Cambria Scarecrow Festival sponsorship program help keep it going. \nIt is best experienced on foot\, wandering the East and West Villages with a coffee in hand\, ducking down side streets to find what is tucked around the next corner. October is the busiest month on the Central Coast calendar\, so if you are visiting for the scarecrows\, book lodging early. \nWe told the full story behind the festival\, from that first trip to Nova Scotia to the volunteers who build it each year\, in our Hello Spotlight feature on the Cambria Scarecrow Festival. For everything else happening around town this fall\, browse the HelloCambria events calendar.
