San Simeon Vacation Guide

San Simeon is perhaps best known as the home of the famous Hearst Estate built by media mogul William R. Hearst. The Hearst Castle has been deeded to the California National Parks. Tours of this decadent estate can be taken throughout the year except on major holidays. San Simeon can be found along the historic Highway 1 about a half hour north of Morro Bay. Also just north of this town one can find a special cordoned off shore where elephant seals can be seen on land giving birth and resting. The town itself has a post office and a very small grocery store, a very few homes. The Hearst State beach next to it with a nice pier is much larger.

Figured out how to traverse the 1 without throwing up! The secret I figured out is to 1) not eat breakfast and 2) put your feet down on the floor of the car and clench your abs in the direction that you are swerving!So managed to make it to San Simeon with minimal discomfort! What a day to visit th…
