San Simeon Travel Information
San Simeon Hearst Castle Vacation

San Simeon is a beautiful, small oceanside city, that holds a huge distinction. It is the heart of Hearst Castle country and as such, offers the hotel choice when you seek something close to the castle tour. Hotels in San Simeon are geared to family and budget travelers seeking affordable hotels near this top attraction on the Central California Coast. Most hotels are either on or near the Pacific Ocean front where you can enjoy strolling the beach. When visiting be sure to watch the elephant seals at the nearby beach, Piedras Blancas, and visit Cambria and Morro Bay.

With a beach and pier near the hotels, there's summer kayak rental and surfing to enjoy in the cool ocean waters. Family picnics at the hilltop lawns above the beach offer relaxing winter or summer pleasures, and there are many things to explore in the surrounding region. Don't feel tied to this small town when you plan your visit to the Castle. For upscale dining and a step up in hotels, be sure to investigate and consider booking in Cambria. Shopping, dining and beaches all come in greater abundance in Cambria.

The hotels that line the road (Highway 101) in San Simeon offer ocean or ocean-close locations. The hotels on the ocean side of the road feature places to sit on the hilltop above the beach to watch the sunsets, light a firepit and relax. Be advised--the weather can be warm and sunny, but err in favor of cooler temps that require jackets. If you bring long pants, jackets, hooded sweatshirts and layers of clothing to stay warm (especially at night), your vacation won't be ruined by being too cold and uncomfortable in a region that can experience chilly winds.
