The pier at San Simeon was built in 1957, was repaired in 1969, 1982 and 1983, all as a result of damage from winter waves. People seems to miss this spot being that it's a bit out of sight from the main road, but it's a great place to just relax, bbq or picnic and maybe even do some little fishing (even though the pier had one of the lowest catch-per-trip averages of any pier in this region).
Have a great weekend folks!

The Roman pool at Hearst Castle is by far one of the most amazing interior pool in my opinion, from all the intricate details of 1″ square 24k gold mosaic tiles to the marble statues it truly reflects the beauty of this amazing place. This past weekend, the wife and I took a quick one day road trip through Solvang and Morro Bay to ultimately here at Hearst Castle for the her first time experience. Nonetheless, I think she loved this quick getaway.
Here's a bonus photo from Hearst Memorial Beach pier right before our 4 hr drive home:

Took this shot during one of our weekend excursion into the central California. We originally planned to visit the wine county but due to time restraints we decided to drop by Pismo beach and tried out one of the best Clam Chowders at Splash Cafe. Aside from a having an amazing beach to relax at, Pismo Beach is probably best known for its sand dunes and ATV riding, so hopefully we'll get to enjoy that one of these days.
