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 />
