Hearst Memorial Beach Day Use
Under the stewardship of the California State Parks, the park was classified as a State Beach and renamed William Randolph Hearst Memorial State Beach in 1971.
The Department closed the campground and replaced it with a day use area offering 24 picnic sites, 150 parking spaces, restrooms, water faucets, barbecue grill stands and easy beach access. Recreational activities include picnicking, swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking and sunbathing.
There is a kayak and boogie board concession in operation with equipment for rent. A festival commemorating the nineteenth-century history of the local area, "A Day in Old San Simeon", is held at the State Beach each year in May.
