Here are a few fine activities to make the most of a weekend to the Central Coast.
We will happily make additional suggestions for other local activities or restaurants.
Castoro Cellars Vineyards & Winery
1315 North Bethel Road, Templeton, CA 93465, (805) 238-0725
We are members of this winery. It's our favorite in our area. We can make other recommendations of other good spots to go wine tasting in our local area
Hearst Castle
750 Hearst Castle Road, San Simeon, CA 93452, (800) 444-4445
This is 10-15 minutes south of our wedding venue and is a fun spot to tour
Elephant Seal Vista Point
San Simeon, CA 93452, (805) 924-1628
There is a large colony of elephant seals about 10 minutes south of our wedding venue. It's fun to watch these guys wrestle and sleep and fart, they really have life all figured out
Pfeiffer Beach
CA 93920
This is a beautiful beach 2 hours or so north of the wedding venue featuring streaks of purple sand. A good stopping point if you are driving through Big Sur
Monterey Bay Aquarium
886 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940, (831) 648-4800
Those traveling far might consider visiting Monterey. Cannery Row has some fun touristy activities and one of the finest aquariums in the world.
Salmon Creek Falls
California 1, Big Sur, CA 93920
If you need to get out of the car and stretch your legs, there is a short hike to a waterfall by the road, and a 5 mile loop to a more secluded waterfall for more adventurous folk.
