Just north of Cambria is San Simeon which lies at the foot of the Enchanted Hill where newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst built Hearst Castle. Other beach towns include Morro Bay and Cayucos to the north of San Luis Obispo city, and Pismo Beach and the 5 cities to the south. Inland, the cities of Paso Robles, Templeton, and Atascadero lie along the Salinas River, near the Paso Robles wine region.
