Welcome to www.san-simeon-lodging.com Hearst Castle® Hotels San Simeon Lodging

Tourist season is here and its time for a Pacific Coast Highway 1 road trip! One thing I love about the central California coast weather is our many micro-climates; if the weather where you are at isn't perfect and you want a change, no matter where you're at different weather is not far away. For instance in the summer on the coast it is often foggy in the morning, you can relax and have a cup of coffee at one of the many wonderful and unique coastal restaurants, or if you'd rather you can take a warm up wine-tasting side trip into Paso Wine Country! If the weather choices aren't enough motivation maybe you would like to come to enjoy one of the coasts many special summer events ... Of course the real reward comes if you can take time from your road-trip to wind down at on of the wonderful Hearst Castle® country seaside resort hotels or bed & breakfasts. Morro Bay is also worth a visit and if you enjoy the ocean why not get out on it Virg's Landing of Morro Bay runs fishing excursions this time of year. If you are the hardy outdoors sort you can get a good spot at your favorite campgrounds like San Simeon Creek Campground; you may want to camp at Morro Strand and Limekiln Campgrounds NOW(or write your legislators) both campgrounds are on the list of State Parks scheduled to shut down SOON because of budget shortfalls. Did you know Sebastian's General Store and Cafe now serves Hearst Ranch natural free range beef is getting a reputation for their great food with both tourists and locals alike and their latest addition Hearst Ranch Wines now have a wine tasting room there. Come and do some exploring and have some adventures along with getting pampered at one of California's fantastic central coast resorts or why not camp, hike & picnic near Hearst Castle® San Simeon California?
