San Simeon State Park Tours

If you have never seen wild seals before, great spot with tons of harbor seals and elephant seals basking in the sun. I found it to be delightful

If you're travelling the California coast around San Luis Obispo stop on the highway and experience this Elephant Seal Sanctuary. The Elephant Seals come ashore and sun themselves. It's a spectacular and natural way to view them. It's well worth the stop. #california #nature #beach #nikon
We stopped for just an hour at Moonstone Beach, which was aptly named! It was quite windy, but the kids had fun chasing the birds as I hunted for moonstones.
Most beautiful water I have seen

7.8/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Friendly staff, clean rooms and property was very short walking distance to beach. Staff also made suggestions for local restaurants. Great room service for towels as long as you let them know on a daily basis. You could also borrow beach chairs, umbrellas, board games, etc. I will definitely stay here on my next visit.
