About North

Coast

North Coast, located between Ragged Point and Hearst Castle, is a coastal and rural San Simeon neighborhood with dramatic bluffs and wide-open ranchland. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Cabrillo Highway (CA-1) at the Hearst Castle Road junction, where roadside pullouts, small lodges, and ocean-view stops set a wind-swept, road-trip tempo. Hearst Castle anchors the cultural landscape with hilltop architecture and formal gardens above the fog line. Down on the sand, William R. Hearst Memorial State Beach frames daily life around surf, dunes, and long shoreline walks. Elephant seal viewing at Piedras Blancas adds a seasonal ritual, while the Piedras Blancas Light Station keeps the horizon feeling historic.
