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<br />

in Grover Beach where you will find many unique<br />

dining options lining the main drag, also known as<br />

West Grand Avenue. Some local favorites include<br />

authentic Mexican fare, smoky barbecue and juicy<br />

burgers, which can all be found at one of the nearby<br />

restaurants. After dinner, test your puzzle-solving<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 />
