San Luis Obispo County
A county on California's Central Coast, home to Hearst Castle, scenic Highway 1 coastline and the Paso Robles wine region.
San Luis Obispo County is on California's Central Coast, between Los Angeles and San Francisco. On the northern coast, Hearst Castle is the opulent estate built by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst; nearby Cambria is a quiet seaside village, and elephant seals can be seen around Piedras Blancas. Morro Bay is marked by its giant rock. Inland, Paso Robles is a well-known wine region, and the county seat, San Luis Obispo, preserves an old town built around its mission. The climate is mild and the area can be visited year-round. The gateway is San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, and driving Highway 1 is the classic way to explore.
