So you've just visited historic McWay Falls located in the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.  Now what, you might ask. If you're ready for more adventure then get back on the Pacific Coast Highway, and continue South about 25 miles to Sand Dollar Beach.  It's a climb in and out, the  ground is a little unsteady, and there are a whole lot of stairs to climb, but it's worth it. Here you'll want to linger and explore.  You'll find plenty of talkative sea lions catching some sun on the rocks, a few sea birds, and maybe some otters!   If the weather is just right, this is a great place to swim and surf!  Be sure to look closely at the rocks on the beach, as the tide brings in some amazing sea life for you to discover.

Just discovered my new fav campground. It's across the street from Jade Cove and Sand Dollar Beach. ❤️ Beautifully kept, green grass (green grass in California???) Camped in our beloved VW Eurovan campervan.

We’ve stayed here multiple times and love it. The rooms are clean with a nice fireplace. The staff is professional and nice. Oceanfront which we love. We can easily walk to the beach. There is also a shuttle that comes to pick up people for Cambria lights for a fee. For the price it’s worth it.

The location was great, as it sits between both Cambria and Hearst Castle. The cottage was everything we hoped for with countless deers walking the property. At night, you could also hear the ocean off in the nearby distance which was relaxing. Definitely recommend this property and will be back ...
