When you think of the perfect Valentine’s Day evening, what comes to mind?

For us, we imagine sitting on a gorgeous natural California beach sipping a glass of vineyard fresh wine. The February sun warms us as it dips below the coastline and casts dancing rays of light across the breathtaking landscape, painting swaths of softly blushing color upon the clouds and sprinkling diamonds atop the crest of each gently sweeping wave. We’ve just eaten a decadent chef-prepared meal, our loved one is nestled sweetly beside us, and our hearts & minds are filled with nothing but contentment, delight, and (of course) LOVE.

If this sounds like a dream come true to you, Cambria is your romance destination this Valentine’s Day. There are few better places to book that perfect sultry getaway, to find thoughtful gifts, and treat yourselves to delicious foods. Cambria Currents is excited to provide you with this Coastal date guide to help you celebrate!
