First, don't do just 1 night ... there's an ocean out there. If you check in at 5 pm the ocean disappears quickly into darkness and waking up only a few hours of ocean before 11 a.m. check-out. Stay 2 nights so you get all that Cambria Ocean right across the street a full daylight day.
Second, don't get scared away from one of the best and funnest restaurants in the world, Sea Chest Oyster Bar, a short 5 min. walk away ...... sure no reservations and cash only and a line way out the door when they open every day at 5 pm. You just watch the end of the football or any game on TV in your room and go over at 8 pm. Things start to open up by then, but there is a bar up inside for waiting and drinking at but the main bar watching the oyster chefs is far better than a table. And it's dark by then outside anyway. And buy a long sleeve Sea Chest Oyster Bar shirt to wear all year.
