Avila Beach: Boardwalk bliss The Bob Jones Trail offers an easy, shady bike path following San Luis Obispo Creek a perfect morning activity before hitting Avila Beach."
"Start your Central Coast exploration at Avila Beach, a crescent of sand protected by Point San Luis that creates one of the warmest microclimates on California's coast. The wooden boardwalk stretches along the waterfront, lined with casual restaurants serving fish tacos and clam chowder. Unlike the fog-shrouded beaches farther north, Avila typically offers sunny skies and calm waters ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding or simply lounging. The Avila Beach Pier extends into San Luis Obispo Bay, popular with fishermen and sunset photographers."
