Avila Beach

Avila Beach is the relaxing, seaside town of San Luis Obispo County. Even though there are only 1,600 residents in this suburban city, it is the Central Coast’s hidden gem. From the Avila Beach Pier, you can see the rolling canyons and hills, acres of vineyards, the Port San Luis Lighthouse, and the glistening tide. Its oceanfront restaurants are filled with people loving the coastal cuisine and trying local wines. You can spend the day fishing in Pirate’s Cove, swimming in the natural mineral hot springs, visiting the Central Coast Aquarium, or hiking the sea trails. It has highly-rated public schools and is much safer than most cities. It is also ranked in the top 5% of the best places to retire in California. The sunny weather, local company, and panoramic views will not disappoint.
