San Simeon is the home of the famous Hearst Castle the number one attraction for the Central Coast of California. However, this charming little community offers far more than just a castle.
The Castle, the ranch and everything involved with the Hearst Castle is spectacular. In fact, next month I am going to sing at a wedding in the castle. My wife and I have many friends who work for the park and it is always a pleasure to visit Mr. Hearst indulgent mansion. If you have never visited the Castle you need to make plans right now to see the mansion.
The
beauty of the castle is surpassed only by the landscape which surrounds
the park. If you would like to see pictures from within and

My
wife and I love to walk on the long pier and then take a trip to
Sebastians for a great burger. If you want to visit Sebastians
stay on the service road by the park and you will find the store.
If you go say hi to my friend Ian. Tell him Bob sent you and he
might give you some free fries. He might not, so don't hold me to
that deal.
DO
- If you want to take a quit walk? The cove is the place to get
away. The cove has a beach, Kayak rentals, a fishing pier and you
take a hike through the forest. Did I mention Hearst
Castle. How could I forget the number one attraction. The
castle is right across the way from the beach. If you don't want
to tour the castle you can always go to the visitors center and take a
look at the little shops. The actual town is really neat and has
a few interesting stores. Nancy, a friend of mine, owns a small
store "The Wampum Trading Post". She and her husband sell all sorts of
Indian goods. You can find plenty to do in this area. Click on
