LOS OSOS . BAYWOOD PARK<br />
Take a deep breath of fresh ocean air. This is what life is<br />
about. The friendly beach community of Los Osos and<br />
Baywood Park leads straight to Montaña de Oro State<br />
Park, where rugged cliffs collide with sandy beaches and<br />
coastal bluffs. This natural playground boasts wide-open<br />
space for horseback riders, mountain bikers, hikers and<br />
beachgoers. After a day of exploring the great outdoors,<br />
head back into town to grab a coffee and a bite, perhaps<br />
indulging in some local artisanal baked goods. Top it<br />
all off with a sunset stroll through the Elfin Forest—a<br />
pygmy oak woodland that feels like a fairytale.<br />
Where to stay: Look for the views. Take in the<br />
oceanscape from a coastal inn or a bayfront vacation<br />
rental for the whole crew.<br />
OCEANO . GROVER BEACH<br />
Roam free and take in miles of otherworldly sand<br />
dunes in Oceano. Follow up a day of fun in the sun in<br />
Grover Beach where you will find many unique dining<br />
options lining the main drag, also known as West<br />
Grand Avenue. Some local favorites include authentic<br />
Mexican fare, smoky barbecue and juicy burgers,<br />
which can all be found at one of the nearby restaurants.<br />
After dinner, head to The Great American Melodrama<br />
& Vaudeville in Oceano for a night of knee-slapping<br />
laughter or remain in Grover Beach to test your puzzlesolving<br />
skills in an escape room.<br />
Where to stay: Choose a family-friendly hotel in town<br />
or settle into an RV park. Horseback riders will even<br />
find an RV resort with equestrian accommodations.<br />
