Hell 

Nice to meet you. My name is San Luis Obispo County, California, 

but you can call me SLO CAL®. 

“Slow” may not seem like a good thing, but here, we think it will set you free. While the rest of the world is racing to the end, 

slow gives your life the attention it deserves. Away from the noise and chaos of crowded streets, slowing down allows us to 

reconnect—to breathe. But in this place, slow is not falling behind; it’s the freedom to catch up with the things that matter 

most to you. I know you’ll find that SLO CAL is just your speed.

Dreaming 

Here on California’s Central Coast, there’s 

no need to rush—and there’s no time like 

the present. Ideally centered between 

the cosmopolitan hubs of San Francisco 

and Los Angeles, SLO CAL® borrows the 

best of both but leaves the breakneck 

pace behind. With uncrowded beaches 

and 315 days of sunshine per year, this 

generous playground welcomes anyone 

searching for flavor, culture, adventure 

and a place apart. Ready to make 

your getaway? Try one of these doable 

journeys and find yourself here.

SAN LUIS OBISPO . EDNA VALLEY 

This bustling town, home to a university, boasts hiking and 

mountain biking trails, boutique shopping, wine tasting, 

nightlife, dining, museums and historic landmarks, all within 

walking distance of downtown. Listen to the bells at Mission 

San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Take in the flavors of the famous 

Thursday night farmers market. Make your contribution at the 

bizarre Bubblegum Alley. Then head out to Edna Valley to relax 

with coastal-grown chardonnay and pinot noir. 

Where to Stay: The San Luis Obispo area is your oyster, with 

options ranging from unique downtown boutique hotels to Edna 

Valley wine country accommodations. 


PASO ROBLES 

As home to some of the finest wines in the world, Paso Robles has exploded in recent years 

into a chic burg with cow town roots. Don’t be surprised to find boots and big buckles shining 

in the area’s 200+ wineries, tasting rooms and fast-growing collection of distilleries, breweries 

and cider houses. When tasting time ends, head downtown for shopping, entertainment and 

wine country dining. 

Where to Stay: Go mobile with an RV park overlooking the vines on the outskirts of town, 

tuck into a winery bed and breakfast or settle in at a charming luxury hotel near restaurants, 

shops and tasting rooms around Downtown City Park. 

ARROYO GRANDE 

Ready to be unplugged? Stroll this village’s main street and find a roaming brood of roosters 

that have become the town mascots, then gear up to walk the swinging footbridge that hangs 

40 feet above the creek. As for shopping, you’ll literally find a butcher, baker and candlestick 

maker in the historic town center, plus antique shops and farm-fresh restaurants. When it’s time 

to get your adventure on, head out past pretty farmland to Lopez Lake for hiking, water sports, 

ziplining and fishing. 

Where to Stay: Arroyo Grande provides plenty of vacation rentals as well as quaint 

bed and breakfasts near the village or overlooking farms, fields and vineyards. 



discover 

NIPOMO 

Hit the links at your choice of golf courses and take in views 

of the ocean, dunes and mesa. For local history, visit the Dana 

Adobe, built in 1851 at the foot of Nipomo’s hills by Captain 

William Dana. Today, the adobe features historical talks and 

presentations to bring California rancho culture to life. Come 

dinnertime, make your way to one of the local steakhouses, 

where the drinks are stiff, the oak coals burn hot and the steaks 

are huge. 

Where to Stay: Hang near the golf course in a vacation rental— 

there are some great accommodations next to the scenic fairways.

Day 

ATASCADERO . TEMPLETON . SANTA MARGARITA 

Get up close and personal with monkeys, flamingos, snakes and 

tigers at Atascadero’s Charles Paddock Zoo, then grab an ice cream 

and paddle across the water at Atascadero Lake Park. Alternatively, 

have a picnic and play yard games in the Sunken Gardens, 

followed by a stroll to one of downtown’s coffee shops, local stores 

or watering holes. Those with sky-high ambitions can’t miss 

Santa Margarita’s ziplines over acres of vineyards, but for anyone 

yearning for simpler times, a visit to charming Templeton is in 

order, with its vintage shops, historic mill and classic town square. 

Where to Stay: If your style is elegant and traditional, you’ll love 

this area’s historic hotel, but bed and breakfasts and family and 

budget-friendly options abound here, too. 


LOS OSOS . BAYWOOD PARK 

Relax in the uncommonly chill atmosphere of these two towns 

right at the coastline. Enjoy Baywood’s popular farmers market, 

where purveyors sell fresh produce to chefs, home cooks and 

visitors alike. Take a hike among “mountains of gold” at Montaña 

de Oro State Park and finish at secluded Spooner’s Cove beach. 

For dinner, find a casual noodle shop, family pizzeria or romantic 

table for two and cap it all off with a sunset walk through a 

pygmy oak forest. 

Where to Stay: It’s all about the view here, so head to the 

balcony of a boutique coastal hotel or vacation rental with 

stunning ocean scenes, or enjoy time at a quaint inn or 

lodging on the golf course. 

OCEANO . GROVER BEACH 

Savor life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by riding 

horses or motor vehicles on the sand at the Oceano Dunes 

State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA). When hungry, grab 

a bite at one of Grover Beach’s casual eateries or barbecue at 

the water’s edge. For entertainment, nothing beats a show in 

Oceano at the professional year-round theater where the acting 

and singing are top-notch and the laughs are plentiful. 

Where to Stay: Horseback riders should book an equestrianfriendly 

seaside golf or RV resort, while families and couples 

can take advantage of any number of vacation rentals or hotels.

Open Road 

SAN SIMEON . RAGGED POINT 

Nothing compares to the opulence of 

Hearst Castle, where tycoon W.R. Hearst 

built his 90,000-square-foot hilltop estate 

in San Simeon overlooking the glittering 

Pacific. Wander its gardens, revel in the 

views and take in Hearst’s vast collection 

of art and antiquities. Then push north to 

Ragged Point for lunch or an ice cream, 

being sure to check out the large and 

lazy elephant seals and historical Piedras 

Blancas Light Station on the way. 

Where to Stay: Check out the area’s coastal 

hotels and cozy inns. 


CAMBRIA . HARMONY . CAYUCOS 

Walk the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve for ocean views, comb for sea 

treasure on Moonstone Beach and shop for local arts in Cambria. 

Don’t miss the itty-bitty town of Harmony, population 18, whose 

quirky artist community features hand-blown glass pieces made 

right there in the gallery. Hunt down antiques, check out the local 

talent at the seaside skate park and indulge in a farm-to-table 

lunch just steps from the beach in Cayucos. 

Where to Stay: Styles run the gamut across the coast, including 

vacation rentals, hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts. 

CRESTON . CHOLAME . SAN MIGUEL 

Tour the small bucolic towns of SLO CAL®, 

unchanged by time and home to cowboy country, 

remote ranchland wineries and their tasting rooms. 

You can even find a memorial to the life and death 

of James Dean in tiny Cholame. 

A longstanding mission town, San Miguel’s charm 

extends beyond its historic heart at Mission San 

Miguel Arcángel, built in 1797 and recently restored. 

Find a flavorful Mexican restaurant, bite into a 

burrito, then step out on the Pleasant Valley Wine 

Trail, one of SLO CAL’s best backroad tasting 

regions where reds take the spotlight. 

Where to Stay: In your search for overnight 

accommodations, look no further than the area’s 

backcountry vacation rentals nestled amongst 

majestic oaks and sprawling vineyards.

Take Your Time 

AVILA BEACH 

A seaside town with a flavor all 

its own, Avila Beach is ideal for 

extended days at the beach, long 

meals on the patio and leisurely 

walks along the Bob Jones Bike 

Trail, which is sometimes called the 

“City to the Sea Trail.” A sensory 

wonderland, Avila’s wine tasting 

rooms line the streets, seafood 

comes in fresh from the waves at the 

Harford Pier and nearby See Canyon 

grows orchard upon orchard of rare 

and heirloom apples. 

Where to Stay: Beach views are 

always on order at most of the area’s 

seaside hotels and vacation rentals, 

but for those who need to soak it all 

in, head to lodgings boasting natural 

hot springs. 


MORRO BAY 

Under the shadow of famous Morro Rock, this laid-back 

fishing town welcomes visitors of all ages and stages to its 

shores. For classic beachy flavor, get to the Embarcadero 

for the freshest fish and chips and saltwater taffy. Or take 

kayaks out for a cruise across the estuary, catching sight 

of sea otters, seals, marine birds and maybe even a whale 

off in the distance. 

Where to Stay: Family lodging is the name of the game 

with hotels, RV resorts, comfortable vacation rentals and 

romantic getaways with views of the ocean. 

PISMO BEACH . SHELL BEACH 

Sun and salty fun endear these classic California beach communities to visitors and 

locals alike. If surfing, lounging or people watching are your jam, get to the Pismo 

Pier, where clam chowder and seafood eateries shine. At nearby Shell Beach, explore 

tidepools or head out on a stand-up paddleboard for serenity on the sea. And don’t 

miss the thousands of Monarch Butterflies that make their home in Pismo’s Monarch 

Butterfly Grove each winter. 

Where to Stay: Take your pick from a variety of RV parks or book your stay at any of 

the hotels, vacation rentals or oceanfront resorts near the boardwalk.

The land of wine, food & fun 

One of California’s top wine regions, Paso Robles— 

named Best Wine Country Town by Sunset magazine in 

2016 and Wine Region of the Year by Wine Enthusiast 

magazine in 2013—boasts more than 200 wineries, all 

within minutes of downtown. 

Among the 40,000 acres of vineyards set across the rolling 

slopes of the Santa Lucia mountain range, wine aficionados 

can explore the region’s famed Rhone varieties (such as syrah 

and grenache), zinfandel and Bordeaux-inspired wines. 

But there is much more to taste in Paso Robles than wine. 

The region has fast become an epicenter for craft beer, 

cider and artisanal spirits, and it is home to the movements’ 

most innovative players, such as Firestone Walker Brewing 

Company, Tin City Cider and Re:Find Distillery.

the farm-to-table favorite Thomas Hill 

Organics to Wine Spectator’s 2018 Award 

of Excellence winner Il Cortile. 

For adventure seekers, this land of cowboys 

offers a huge array of choices in the great

horseback through vineyards, challenging 

the area’s golf courses, taking a day trip to 

the coast or exploring the restorative waters 

of River Oaks Hot Springs.

San Luis Obispo is at the heart of SLO CAL® 

San Luis Obispo is the cultural, commercial and entertainment hub of the Central Coast. Reconnect and recharge in a place where 

serenity rules and the atmosphere allows you to just be. 

Nestled between rolling hills, San Luis Obispo’s tree-lined streets are filled with boutique shopping, charming coffee shops, creekside dining 

and a beautifully preserved Spanish mission. Every Thursday night the town comes alive with the Downtown San Luis Obispo Farmers’ 

Market, featuring local entertainment, food vendors and farmers. San Luis Obispo is also home to Bubblegum Alley, a famous landmark that 

beckons thousands of visitors to leave their mark with their own bubblegum every year. 

San Luis Obispo offers plenty of other reasons to get outdoors: the city is surrounded by 50 miles of trails traversing thousands of acres of open 

space for trail running, hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts. 

And if strolling is more your style, take time to explore more than 70 pieces of public art on display throughout the city. 

Wine Enthusiast named San Luis Obispo Wine Country one of its top ten wine destinations for 

2018, and the city also boasts dozens of craft breweries and cideries.

vineyards in five sub-districts in the region. 

First-class hospitality service is offered by 

way of unique, memorable experiences 

with wine, food and music at their core. 

The vineyards and winery are owned and 

managed by two Swiss families who have 

been farming wine grapes in Paso Robles 

for more than 20 years. 

Known primarily for their cabernet 

sauvignon and petite sirah, the Vina 

Robles lineup includes small lots of 

a wide range of varieties and creative 

blends. Willenborg’s wines are 

available at the Vina Robles Hospitality 

Center where a wide range of tasting

THE WHOLE GRAPE 

The craft distillery boom in SLO CAL® started 

quite literally at the bottom of the barrel when the 

locally recognized “founder” of the movement, 

Alex Villicana, began distilling the leftover grape 

skins, pulp, seeds and stems following the crush at 

his winery. Many in SLO CAL have since followed 

his lead, using every part of their grape harvest 

and other local ingredients to create unique 

liqueur, whiskey, brandy, rum and other spirits, 

allowing an exciting new offering to visitors and 

purveyors of fine liquors. 

IMBIBE WITH YOUR TRIBE 

No need to leave the kids behind. Enjoy a craft cocktail, 

brew or glass of wine from one of the area’s familyfriendly 

locations where children are welcome to walk 

the vineyards, discover animals, play yard games or 

even have a tasting of their own, as some of the sites 

offer house-made grape juice or root beer. 


ake a tour through SLO CAL® by experiencing 

its bounty and by meeting the makers. Whether 

you self-select, book a tasting tour or sample at 

Tone of the many restaurants, tap houses, tasting 

rooms and cocktail bars, getting a sip of SLO CAL crafted is 

effortless and delicious. 

SLO CAL may be home to California’s third-largest wine 

region, but true to the slower pace of life, it has a more laidback 

approach to the otherwise stuffy and crowded wine 

tasting experiences. Many of the vintners have joined this 

trend, bucking tradition and breaking the rules to create 

more experimental blends and unique flavors. And like 

their wine, their tasting rooms also offer a more modest 

vibe and authentic atmosphere for guests. You’re sure to 

unearth the best kept secret in viticulture with over 250 

wineries speckled throughout the county. 

SLO CAL is replete with wine tasting options, but on a hot 

day nothing beats a frosty pint of IPA, a crisp cider or a 

refreshing sour. Here, brewers and cider makers are known 

for their use of local ingredients, including wild yeasts, 

fruit, barley, hops [BB1] and, in some cases, even seawater, 

taking flavors to a whole new level. 

The granddaddy of the SLO CAL brew scene is found in 

Paso Robles, where Firestone Walker Brewing offers dining, 

shopping, tours and tastings at their recently expanded 

campus. Although large, they manage to stay true to their 

roots, most notably in their label 805 (SLO CAL’s area 

code), a refreshing blonde ale and local favorite. 

MIX IT UP 

Like the distillers themselves, SLO CAL 

mixologists have reinvented the craft 

cocktail game and the community 

proudly offers its myriad of local spirits to 

those that sidle up to the bar. Whether 

a speakeasy, local pub or fine dining 

restaurant, SLO CAL is your place to 

sample the latest concoctions and 

discover your new favorite maker.

Farm to 

Fork 


taste 

The sun, soil and topography have come together in an improbable 

way to create the most fertile growing grounds known to exist, 

anywhere, at any time. In the Mediterranean climate, it’s not just 

people who grow and thrive in SLO CAL®, but also the combination 

of heirloom crops, a cornucopia-like bounty all year long. 

Fortunately for us, local chefs are inspired by nature’s blessing and 

have formed close relationships with the farmers throughout SLO 

County. Nowhere has the farm-to-fork phenomenon shaped a place, 

a culture, a way of life, like it has right here in SLO CAL, U.S.A. 


Taste Matters 

Four SLO CAL® restaurants under the umbrella of Blue Mango, 

a San Luis Obispo-based hospitality management group, offer 

a unique cuisine and ambiance—and are loved by a dedicated 

group of repeat guests from locals to travelers. 

Robin’s Restaurant 

In 1985, after running a health food store and serving up 

tasty fare to the community in Cambria, Robin Covey and Shanny 

Covey opened Robin’s Restaurant. Set in a restored 1930s home 

in the town’s East Village, Robin’s serves comfort food with an 

international flair. (Try the prawn enchiladas or butternut squash 

and black kale lasagna.) Guests love the food, the ambiance and the 

enchanting gardens.

Roll DeepSLO CAL 

explore 

Come along with us as we spend some quality time 

exploring SLO CAL®’s picture-perfect coastline. 

| BY JAIME LEWIS | PHOTOS BY JENNIFER OLSON 

When it comes to experiencing SLO CAL’s stretch of Highway 1, there’s no better 

way than by road trip, where each exit and turnoff holds the promise of pristine 

beaches, fresh flavors and authentic adventure—not to mention more photo ops than 

you can shake a (selfie) stick at. 

There is so much to see and do—you will be amazed by how much SLO CAL’s 

coastline has to offer. So, what are you waiting for? Charge your phone, turn up the 

music, grab your favorite sidekick and get rolling. > 


STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER 

Begin your journey planted in some of the world’s most 

fertile soil, as Highway 1 follows the route of the early 

California missionaries along sight lines of the nearby 

Pacific. Stop at one of Nipomo’s roadside produce stands 

and strike up a conversation with a grower as your taste 

buds dance in delight. 

THE LAND OF UNENDING DUNES—AND PERFORMING ARTS 

Continue north, rolling into the small-but-mighty town of Oceano. Here, dune 

buggies and ATVs rule the day as they prepare for high-speed fun in the Oceano 

Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, but an expected cultural delight awaits 

downtown on Front Street at The Great American Melodrama. 


HIDDEN SEASIDE GEM 

Now, head back toward the water. Just before arriving at the 

Highway 1 intersection, you will be treated to a treasure trove of 

hole-in-the-wall eateries in Grover Beach. Check out The Spoon 

Trade that has been wowing guests with traditional American 

fare. Who could have imagined that deviled eggs could be a 

main course? Take your wheels out on the sand for a sunset 

accompanied by the warmth of a bonfire. 

SURF, STROLL AND SAVOR 

The energy picks up and the pulse quickens as you glide into the 

beating heart of Pismo Beach. No trip through town would be 

complete without a quick stop for a mouth-watering treat at Old 

West Cinnamon Rolls. Stroll along the newly renovated pier as 

you watch local fishermen bring in the day’s catch. 

TAKE IN SWEEPING VIEWS 

A stop in San Luis Obispo wouldn’t be complete without a bite of a tender 

tri-tip sandwich from eateries such as Firestone Grill or Old SLO BBQ. Find 

that perfect something while strolling through downtown shops, boutiques 

and art galleries. Afterward, set out on one of the many trails that offer up 

picture-perfect sunset views of the city below. > 


CATCH A BRIGHT-AND-EARLY BREAKFAST 

IN BAYWOOD PARK 

Make your way to the quirky coastal town of Baywood Park, which is just a 

hop, skip and a jump from San Luis Obispo, and where the Back Bay Cafe 

hums only a few feet from the Morro Bay State Park Marine Reserve. Order 

a latte and a breakfast burrito with legendary local salsa from La Casita 

Restaurant—then walk back to the pier to sit, nosh and take in the earlymorning 

song of Baywood’s bird chorus. 


TREAD MOUNTAINS OF GOLD IN LOS OSOS 

Drive southwest about five miles to one of SLO CAL®’s most beloved 

natural treasures, Montaña de Oro State Park—literal translation from 

Spanish: “mountains of gold”—where dunes and craggy cliffs meet 

untouched beaches and windswept coastline. Hikers have their pick of a 

wide variety of trails, including the Dune Trail, which skirts coastal bluffs 

and takes in tide pools and Hazard Canyon Reef, a popular surf spot. 

Find the trailhead for this 2.6-mile (round trip) hike just past Los Osos by 

continuing on Los Osos Valley Road until it ends. > 



A Place Apart 

Highway 1—also known as Pacific 

Coast Highway, Cabrillo Highway, 

Shoreline Highway and Coast 

Highway—spans from Mexico 

to Washington State. Starting 

in 1919, the road was built in 

sections with labor from locals, 

including author John Steinbeck. 

ROCK OUT IN MORRO BAY 

Head north on Highway 1 and get a photo beside famous 

Morro Rock, a state landmark, volcanic remnant and local 

icon that towers at a height of 576 feet. Drive out to its base 

and bring your binoculars to spy peregrine falcons, as this is 

a designated bird sanctuary. (Just don’t bring your climbing 

shoes: scaling Morro Rock is illegal.) If you have an extra 

minute, catch the Morro Bay Skateboard Museum on the 

Embarcadero, which features the history of skateboarding 

since the 1930s and displays over 200 boards. > 


COOKIES IN CAYUCOS 

Indulge in one of SLO CAL®’s most addicting treats: 

brown butter cookies with a kiss of sea salt from Cayucos’ 

Brown Butter Cookie Company. Taste through the flavor 

selection (must try: gluten-free Cocoa Mint cookie) 

and pick up a box to nibble on during a walk along the 

Cayucos Pier, originally built by Captain James Cass, the 

founder of Cayucos, in 1872. Feeling thirsty? Throw back 

a shot at Old Cayucos Tavern, built in 1906 —then take 

selfies against its iconic cowboy mural outside. 


LUNCH AND PIE, OH MY 

Having taken in the town, it’s time for a plate of something fresh, whether 

that’s a tandoori chicken salad at globally-inspired Robin’s Restaurant, a 

world-class pastrami sandwich at The Café on Bridge Street or a slice of leek 

and goat cheese tart at Indigo Moon. Want to concoct your own lunch? Head 

to Soto’s True Earth Market, a historic grocer with the soul of a health food 

store. After lunch, make your way to Linn’s Restaurant for a slice of their 

beloved pie made from olallieberries (oh-LAH-lih-berr-ees), which thrive in 

Cambria and resemble blackberries. 

GO VINTAGE IN CAMBRIA 

Just up the road in the quaint seaside hamlet of 

Cambria, artists’ galleries, antique stores and 

boutiques abound. Wander the east or west ends 

of Main Street and find plenty to scratch your 

shopping itch, or visit specific spots like eclectic 

consignment shop Encore, zen boutique Muse or 

Rich Man, Poor Man Antique Mall. 

TAKE A STROLL 

Hop on over to Moonstone Beach 

Drive and catch the trailhead for 

the Moonstone Beach Boardwalk, a 

2.85-mile (round trip) shoreline stroll 

that takes in tide pools brimming 

with sea stars, anemones and crabs 

and ends at Moonstone Beach, 

known for its smooth sand, roaring 

waves, “moonstones” and top-notch 

beachcombing. 

Ready to take a break from all that 

walking around? Find your seat at 

Centrally Grown, a restaurant, bar, 

market and hangout with jaw-dropping 

views and rambling gardens where you 

can grab a beer, soak up the sun and 

play some cornhole. > 



San Simeon Coastline 


SPLENDOR IN SAN SIMEON 

Head up the hill to San Simeon’s historic Hearst Castle (tickets are available at 

HearstCastle.org), the 90,000-square-foot home of newspaper magnate William 

Randolph Hearst from the 1920s through 1947. Populated with art and antiquities 

from across the world, the castle welcomed personalities including Charlie 

Chaplin, Winston Churchill and Greta Garbo in its day. Don’t miss the Neptune 

Pool, a marvel of classical architecture; the Egyptian Sekhmet figure in the garden, 

dating back over 1,000 years before the birth of Christ; or a glimpse at the zebras 

wandering Hearst Ranch, remnants from the zoo Hearst built to entertain guests. 

Not into all the grandeur? Chill out in old San Simeon, just across Highway 1, 

where Hearst’s private beach has been opened to the public as the William R. 

Hearst Memorial State Beach. Laze on the beach, paddle out in a kayak or bring 

your pole and fish from the pier—no fishing license necessary. 

HANG WITH THE 

ELEPHANT SEALS 

Just north of San Simeon, Mother 

Nature is on full, glorious display 

at the Piedras Blancas Elephant 

Seal Rookery. A breeding and 

birthing ground for the northern 

elephant seal, the rookery is 

just off Highway 1 and offers 

unparalleled views of these unique 

“locals” in their natural habitat, all 

completely free of charge. Come 

for the peak of birthing season in 

January, the peak of mating season 

(and comically entertaining fights 

between males) around Valentine’s 

Day and the height of elephant 

seals on the beach in October. 


WIND IT ALL DOWN IN RAGGED POINT 

What better place to call it a day than Ragged Point, one 

of the prettiest spots on the globe and the northernmost 

point of SLO CAL®’s section of Highway 1. At the Ragged 

Point Inn & Resort, order a bottle of local wine and sink 

your teeth into locally sourced cuisine (word to the wise: 

try the pork belly appetizer!) on the heated outdoor patio 

or in the floor-to-ceiling glass dining room overlooking 

the Pacific Ocean. After dinner, settle in beside one of the 

resort’s fire pits. Marvel at the stars. Reflect on the day 

until your eyes refuse to stay open. 

Crank the (local) tunes 

No road trip is complete without a playlist, 

and this road trip itinerary comes complete 

with tunes from local artists.

adventure 

Under 

the Sun 


With some of the most consistently perfect 

weather worldwide, the outdoors beckon in 

SLO CAL®. Get ready for adventure. 

MONTAÑA DE ORO 

A state park unlike any other, the 8,000 oceanfront acres south of Los 

Osos & Baywood Park are out of this world. The Bluffs Trail is an easy 

stroll along a single-track dirt path just above the pounding waves 

below. Wildlife abounds everywhere, from curious deer meandering 

about to the sea anemones in the surfside tide pools. 

OSO FLACO LAKE 

Tucked away at the end of a simple and flat 1.5-mile stroll awaits a 

curving boardwalk on the way to Oso Flaco Lake in Nipomo. There 

are plenty of benches to sit and take in the natural scenery, or sip a 

hot cup of coffee while reflecting upon the still waters. 

Montaña de Oro 

EL MORO ELFIN FOREST 

Step into the whimsical 90-acre preserve and stroll along its winding 

boardwalk, which bends through the pygmy oak woodlands and 

a picturesque manzanita grove. Sitting on the edge of Los Osos & 

Baywood Park adjacent to the Morro Bay National Estuary, this 

wheelchair-accessible park is suitable for all ages. 

SANTA MARGARITA LAKE REGIONAL PARK 

This 7,100-acre park in Santa Margarita is replete with many miles 

of hiking, cycling and horseback riding trails. Rocky Trail is a 

moderately strenuous single-track that leads in and out of an oak 

forest along its way through the lake’s western shore. 

FISCALINI RANCH PRESERVE 

Monterey pines frame the north coast seascape along the 430-acre 

bluffside preserve known as the Fiscalini Ranch. Many singletrack 

trails zigzag though the property in Cambria, which provides 

unending opportunities to commune with the natural surroundings. 

Lake Nacimiento 

LAKE NACIMIENTO 

Coveted by water skiers, this 18-mile-long lake northwest of Paso 

Robles offers 5,000 acres of freshwater for boats and swimmers alike. 

A winding beachfront encircles the lake with ample camping facilities 

and more than 100 miles of mixed-use trails. 

BOB JONES TRAIL 

Babies in strollers, cyclists, nature lovers and beachcombers all share 

the flat, winding and paved path leading to Avila Beach. Much of the 

scenic 2.5-mile pathway is enveloped by a canopy of oak trees, which 

leads away from traffic all the way to the surf and sand. 

MORRO BAY STATE PARK 

A natural wonderland is the best way to describe the park-by-the-bay 

that boasts everything from camping and hiking to sailing and golfing. 

That’s right, there is even an 18-hole golf course. And, do not miss Black 

Hill for a quick, easy hike to the top with amazing views of Morro Rock. 

Shell Beach 

DINOSAUR CAVES 

The perfect way to explore this area is from the water by kayak or stand-up 

paddleboard. Get a close-up look at the cliffs along Shell Beach and become 

one with the frisky harbor seals and playful dolphins that keep watch as you 

explore the many hidden coastal caves and hard-to-access beaches. 


ATASCADERO LAKE PARK 

Old-fashioned pedal boats dot this lake found within the 25-acre 

park in Atascadero. Perfect for a picnic, there is plenty of play space 

and even a zoo. Free concerts are performed regularly during the 

summer under the canopy of oak trees. 

OCEANO STATE VEHICULAR RECREATION AREA 

This state park offers thousands of acres of dunes and many miles of 

beachfront for four-wheeling fun. And when the day ends, break out 

the firewood and settle in for the night during this unique stay on 

the beach in Oceano. 

PORT SAN LUIS 

With its shores sheltered within the bay, Port San Luis offers stand-up 

paddling and kayaking, as well as the Harford Pier, with fresh seafood 

and prime wildlife viewing. Nearby Avila Beach and the dog-friendly 

Old Port Beach are perfect for long, lazy days in the sun. 

OLD CREEK ROAD 

Dedicated road cyclists will not want to miss the 21-mile 

narrow and winding road leading to Cayucos. The ride can be 

extended for a 33-mile loop by connecting Old Creek Road, 

Green Valley Road and Highway 1. This one is for only the 

most experienced riders. 

THE EUCS PROJECT 

Committed mountain bikers, who can make the climb up the 

grade along the West Cuesta Ridge, will be treated to a mountainbike 

park complete with wooden ramps, berms and trails. This one 

is for the advanced rider. The little ones are much better off at the 

Morro Bay Bike Park (see below). 

MORRO BAY BIKE PARK 

This small-but-mighty bike park measures just one acre, but easily 

provides an entire afternoon of fun. Complete with cross-country 

obstacles, a flow track and a big-jump area, there is something for 

everyone and all skill levels at this facility. 

MORRO STRAND STATE BEACH 

Starting from Morro Rock and heading north, you will find one of 

the longest sandy beaches in SLO CAL®. Popular with surfers and 

kite boarders, the stretch is also the ideal place to log a long walk 

along the ebbing and flowing coastal tide, which often reveals a 

variety of seashells and wildlife. 

CERRO CABRILLO 

Avila Beach 

Standing proud at 911 feet, the volcanic plug is the tallest peak in 

Morro Bay State Park and serves as a year-round attraction for 

hikers and rock climbers, who love its rugged outcroppings and 

sweeping ocean views. This one may be a challenge for little hikers. 

THREE BRIDGES OAK PRESERVE 

West of Atascadero lies three miles of manicured trails, which 

leads hikers and equestrians through shaded oak woodlands, 

mixed chaparral and sycamore riparian habitats. The gentle climb 

is appropriate for most everyone with perhaps a small challenge to 

stroller-pushers. 

NIPOMO REGIONAL PARK 

Nothing has been left out of this 15-acre park, which is contained 

within a larger 137-acre preserve. Here you will find playing fields, 

tennis courts, playgrounds, a dog park, a botanical garden and a 

skate park. Additionally, the area is crisscrossed by a network of 

trails meandering through the surrounding oak woodlands. 

W.R. HEARST MEMORIAL STATE BEACH 

Taking in ample sunshine due to its south-facing orientation, this 

beach also offers a rustic public access pier and license-free sport 

fishing. Find the trailhead on the west end of the beach and follow 

the 1.5-mile path for a leisurely walk out to San Simeon Point. 

POLY CANYON 

Stroll along Brizzolara Creek near working ranchlands on the way 

to the quixotic Design Village behind Cal Poly’s campus, and take 

the ridge route up to the iconic “P” on the hill (the “P” is for “Poly”). 

From there, connect to the 6.5-mile Great Loop and drop down to 

Stenner Creek Canyon. 

LOPEZ LAKE RECREATION AREA 

An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise hides in the hills rising above 

Arroyo Grande. Since 1969, the 1,000-acre, man-made lake has 

served SLO CAL as the unofficial adventure headquarters for the 

South County, complete with fishing, camping, mountain biking 

trails, a waterslide park and a ropes course. 

SLO SKATE PARK 

As far as skate parks go, the multimillion-dollar facility in San Luis 

Obispo’s Santa Rosa Park is world class. The 15,500-square-foot 

skater’s paradise offers plenty of room for everyone, beginners and 

professionals, with ample room for Mom and Dad to have a seat and 

take in the action. 

IRISH HILLS NATURAL RESERVE 

No less than 13 miles of mixed-use trails beckon from the hills on the 

southern edge of San Luis Obispo. Hikers and mountain bikers are 

found in equal numbers on this network of old mining roads, which 

offers sweeping views and a close-up look at the local flora and fauna.
