Highlights
- Pismo Beach
-

the famous Pismo pier. Poke around in the unique shops or drop
by the outlet stores (Levis, Mikasa, and others)
-
- San Luis Obispo
-
- Discover the Mission and how SLO town
got its start. Stroll down Higuera street and visit the myriad
of specialty shops.
-
- Morro Bay
-
- Morro Bay is well know for 'Morro Rock'.
Morro Rock raises 576 feet into the air at the entrance of the
harbor and is home to the Peregrine Falcon. Grab a bag of homemade
salt water taffy and find a spot to watch the fishing boats unload
the catch of the day. Have your camera ready for those special
shots of Morro Bay's brown pelicans, harbor seals and cute little
otters where the harbor is their playground. Walk or drive out
to the Morro Rock and see why Morro Bay is considered a surfers
paradise.
-
- Cayucos
-
- Listen to the quiet, the stillness
that only a small town in an untouched countryside can provide.
The perfect remedy for those who suffer from the ills and frustrations
of life in the fast lane in our crowded cities.
Peaceful undeveloped ranchlands with
cattle grazing on undulating, oak-crested hills provide a respite
for the city weary. There is virtually no city noise, no traffic,
no pollution, no crime.
A long, open, uncluttered white sandy
beach gives ample room for sandcastle-builders, surfers, sunbathers
and those who need tranquility to commune with themselves and
the ocean.
Cayucos is a California Original. Born
during the days of Spanish land grants, Cayucos grew up with
sailing ships and steamers, rum runners and revenuers. Gamblers
and seafarers met in the Old Cayucos Tavern, and adventurers
and romantics of all kinds still meet there today.
Wander through the antique shops and
boutiques. Stroll down the Old California main street to a restaurant
or café.
- Cambria
-
- At the foot of the scenic Highway One/Big
Sur coast, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, is
the quaint seaside village of Cambria. An artist's colony nestled
in a forest of towering Monterey pines, Cambria offers visitors
sophisticated restaurants, art galleries, antique and specialty
shops and scores of nearby wineries. Just six miles south of
world renowned Hearst Castle, this picturesque village has a
variety of hotels, motels, B&B's, inns and vacation home
rentals. A leisurely pace and country village atmosphere are
the town's main attractions, particularly for urban residents
seeking a quiet, romantic getaway.
-
- San Simeon
-
- It isn't accurate to say that San Simeon
would not exist if it were not for William Randolph Hearst. It
is close however. Perhaps the most famous piece of Hearst real
estate is La Cuesta Encantada, better known as Hearst Castle.
After the death of William Randolph Hearst in 1951, it was deeded
to the State of California and is now a leading tourist attraction.
Mr. Heart's fortune came from the publishing industry and with
it he embarked upon a mission to create a US castle that would
rival those found in Europe. Hearst Castle, officially known
by the State of California as the
"Hearst State Historical Monument at San
Simeon"
was the scene of many extravagant
gatherings that included many of the rich and famous from world
& national government, politics and show business. Hundreds
of legendary figures joined Mr. Hearst on la Cuesta Encantada
(The Enchanted Hill). Most of the castle's and grounds and architecture
was designed by San Francisco architect Julia Morgan.
While lodging dominates this strip town,
San Simeon has many fine restaurants, gift shops, and miles of
raw unspoiled beaches.
Recreational resources include famous
Pico Creek surf spot, ocean fishing, arrow head hunting and of
course beach walking.
The Hearst Corporation has been trying
to push through a development plan that would include a conference
center, hotel, gift shops, and of course a championship 18 hole
golf course.
