About San Simeon

San Simeon sits along the gateway to Big Sur, featuring sweeping ocean views supported by William Randolph Hearst Memorial Beach, Piedras Blancas, and the Elephant Seal Rookery. The cove at Hearst Beach provides sheltered launch points for kayakers and paddleboarders, while nearby ocean reefs yield localized surf breaks for experienced riders. The rocky ledges around Piedras Blancas host vibrant tide pools and offer viewing points for massive elephant seals resting along the shore. A low tide chart is indispensible when visiting San Simeon, as a receded tide is required to safely view exposed intertidal life around Piedras Blancas and ensure plenty of sandy shoreline at Hearst Beach before high tides push against the bluffs.
