SLO CAL 2019

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.
