Discover the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, a beautiful ocean front bluff near our Cambria hotel. Fiscalini Ranch gives visitors and locals a place to admire the beauty of the central coast. As you meander the Fiscalini Ranch trail you will notice it is incredibly well maintained thanks to the efforts of the Friends of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. There are many benches to post up and admire the view. We actually have a couple that frequents the Burton Inn and they head on down to Fiscalini Ranch and read poems to one another. It’s quite a romantic place. Spring time is particularly beautiful with an abundance of wildflowers dotting the bluff and shooting sprays of purple and gold across the preserve.
Directions to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve from our Cambria hotel
There are a number of entrance points to the ranch. The starting point on Windsor Blvd is probably the easiest to locate.

Docent Walks of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve
The Friends of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve frequently organize docent tours of the preserve. They provide great information about the eco system of the area. The walks are free, but be sure to arrange them in advance. Reservations are required. You can contact them by email or over the phone. More information can be found at their website. It looks like they already have some great guided walks and informational sessions lined up for this year, so be sure to check out their schedule before your visit to see if one coincides with your stay in Cambria.
