Filmed in Cayucos, California

A little known fact is that it was filmed on location in Cayucos, just north of Morro Bay, and halfway to Cambria/San Simeon, the stopping point for a tour of the Hearst Castle. Piedras Blancas is the name of the point near there, where the light house is actually located. My grandparents retired there in the late fifties, and actually starred as extras in the film (The older lady wearing a beret, and the man with a brim cap). The "Wings Cafe" and the general store were prominent features of that town for many years, but are long gone now.
The actual cemetary was used in the film and is where my grandparents are now buried. Interesting trivia...
(9-2-08) Forgot to mention the old wooden Catholic church that figures prominently in several scenes, long gone too and replaced with a modern structure.
