historic landmark
Preserving coastal legacy
spanning over 150 years
the heart of Sebastian's General Store
Meet our passionate team
the foundation
Sebastian's General Store has been a beloved landmark of the Central Coast for over 150 years. From its humble beginnings in 1852 as a provider of goods and services to whalers, fishermen, miners, and neighboring ranches, Sebastian's has always carried on through the generations, standing as a testament to the enduring spirit of the coast.
the history
Over the years, Sebastian's has witnessed the ebb and flow of history, but has remained a constant presence in the community despite the changing times. Old San Simeon Village flourished around the store with hotels, saloons, schools, and other establishments, but as time went on, most of the village faded away. Yet, Sebastian's endured and has continued to be a cherished staple in the region.
the revitalization
In recent years, Sebastian's General Store underwent extensive renovations and a retrofit to provide a fresh and modern update to this historical building. After four years of dedication and meticulous restoration, we are delighted to reopen our doors, welcoming visitors once again.
