A great place to take the family or the dogs. Nice easy parking lot and no fees! There is a trail at the end of the beach that goes out to San Simeon Pointe. Very nice and easy trail with great views of Hearst Castle....Read More

Nice beach with a lovely boardwalk into the bay. Great views of the beach and coastline. There are restrooms, which were clean and well maintained. A nice place for a picnic or a short stop as you drive the Highway 1.

Beach is nice. No fee to use it. There is also a very nice hiking trail that goes onto private property that is accessable to the public that runs along the coast with nice trees and good views.

This was beautiful walk and the beach was really clean and nice. But the views from the pier were excellent!! If you go to Hearst castle this is also a must to walk. It directly across the street from the entrance road to Hearst Castle.

Lovely Beach area. Not large but the intimacy keeps the experience feeling special. The parking could be limited in peak season I would suppose. We were here in March and there was plenty of parking and few people. The views of the ocean, beach and...Read More
