San Simeon is a great spot for quiet relaxation.
San Simeon is a great spot for quiet relaxation. It's right by the ocean and has several restaurants. It's also just a few minutes drive to Cambria if you want to go for a nice walk on the Moonstone Beach walkway right by the ocean, and then another short drive to Cambria's cute little town.MariaUnited States - 10Scored 10
The ocean was beautiful.
The ocean was beautiful. It was great seeing the elephant seals, and all their babies, lots and lots of babies everywhere. Every female seem to have a baby was happy to see the her castle from afar could not take my puppies, so I could not go on the tour. Next time I will go on the tour I will find a pet sitter.Betty AparicioUnited States - 10Scored 10

San Simeon is just one of those cool places that are not over crowded by people and businesses. Different places to stop and explore along this part of the coastline. Besides having Hearst Castle, you can check out the elephant sea lions area and a lighthouse. Just south of San Simeon you have a quick drive over the Moonstone Beach and another 20 min south you have Morro Bay. I think it is a great place to stay when you don't want to be in one of the bigger beach towns, its a more down to earth place when you want to just be in one of the small cozy towns.AAnonymousUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
San Simeon state Beach is perfect for families.
San Simeon state Beach is perfect for families. It's not crowded like Pismo or windy like Avila. Perfect for families. Affordable restaurant options are limited for large families. None really unless you eat at the mini mart.Kristin EdmiastonUnited States - 10Scored 10

We are from Southern California, so other than being cooler than expected and overcast in the morning in August, the weather was great. The scenery is picturesque and there is tons to do. The hotel gave us a guidebook/map of the area and it listed so many fun activities, way more than you can do in a weekend vacation. Of course, Hearst Castle is the star. We did not get to see the lighthouse due to odd hours. We couldn't even park nearby to just take pictures. Cambria is only five miles away for shopping and dining and Harmony is just another five miles south for ice cream, photos, and gift shopping.AAnonymousChina

- From £87.91 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,889 reviewsIt is a nice place in the middle of the Pacific road to stay. It is across the road from the ocean and the beach. Also, the pool is available and the water is quite warm. The rooms are big and comfortable, It is a fridge in the room, but not a microwave. The beds are good. It is very nice, that the motel has a restaurant and bar. Also, happy hours with discounts are provided. The food is good, but the prices are quite high. Free parking next to the door is provided. The breakfast is good, better to book with the hotel.
TatjanaLatvia - From £105.68 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 2,663 reviewsWe were staying in the hotel on our way from L.A. to San Francisco. We came quite late, but were welcomed very well. The room is really spacious, we felt really comfortable. Our room also had a really big bathtub. After a long day of driving it was really nice to use it. The brekfast was excellent. The potatoes were especially good. Hotel has a little problem of fitting all the guests in the breakfast room at a time, but we shared a table with a nice couple and also had a good chat that way :)
ViktoriiaGermany - From £79.03 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,278 reviewsNicely located at the Beach of San Simeon. Perfect place to slow down before or after you crossed Big Sur on road 1. Room was clean and spacious. It’s very close to the Hearst beach / pier and also his castle (castle was just closed when I was there but there are opportunities to visit it). Further, nice place to watch the elephant seals.UtaAustria
