Enjoy local wines, shopping and dining at scenic oceanfront restaurants. Visit the historic and picturesque Point San Luis Lighthouse, built in 1890, and now restored as a museum offering docent-led tours. Hike or bike the three mile Bob Jones trail from the tip of the Avila Beach Pier up to Highway 101. Engage with marine life up close at the Central Coast Aquarium.
