re; Update template
Did it close? If it did the lead needs updating, and if it didn't then the section needs rewriting. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

re; Update article
I've attempted to update the article by removing the references to the beach's closure, which (as it turned out) never occurred. But while I'm certain of that, the California State Parks website is confusing. It still has a page for W.R. Hearst Memorial State Beach, but states that it became part of Hearst San Simeon State Park (which formerly did not have "Hearst" in its name) in 2007. The page for Hearst San Simeon State Park does not mention the beach becoming part of it. To top off all of this, neither the beach nor the state park is part of Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument (Hearst Castle).Rontrigger (talk) 03:10, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Who wrote this?
I'd completely forgotten that I'd ever edited this article (six years ago now). But I'm sure I would have noticed back then if the text had been as incredibly garbled as I found it in 2020. The writer couldn't properly spell, punctuate, capitalize, etc. Plus it's written like an advertisement--albeit with redundancies! I'm mortified that one of my favorite places in the world doesn't have a well-written article to describe it. Rontrigger (talk) 01:42, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
