Review & FAQ:
California’s Avila Beach is a coastal community tucked into the San Luis Obispo Bay north of Santa Barbara. Avila has a uniquely warm and sunny microclimate, and miles of white sand beaches surrounded by an oak valley. The area is home to several spas and natural hot springs. 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.
