Cavalier Best Western at San Simeon

From Napa we drove south to San Simeon, the location of the Hearst Castle.  San Simeon is on the Pacific coast about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles.  We stayed at the Cavalier Best Western, right on the beach.  Our rooms were about 70 yards from the shoreline.



The building our rooms were in, we were on the first floor.




Macy enjoying the sun, Karyl and Doug were in the room next door.




When we arrived there were a number of wind surfers enjoying the surf and steady winds.





On the beach looking for shore birds.




It was nice listening to the waves roll in at night.




The sunset our first night there.




The hotel had three fireplaces along the beach and lit them every night at 7 PM.  It was great sitting by the warm fire with the surf roaring nearby.  Also a great way to meet other travelers.  This couple we are talking to here were from Boston.
