Around

By Car San Luis Obispo lies along U.S. Highway 101, about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The approximately 200-mile drive takes 3-3.5 hours, though metro-area traffic can extend that. If you’re one for the scenic route, Highway 1 through Big Sur hugs the coast from the north, coming down through Monterey County (although major repair work is being done after a rainy winter, so make sure to check road closures before departing). From the east (including Fresno and Bakersfield), Highway 46 leads into Paso Robles, where you can jump on U.S. 101 south.

With more than a dozen distinct cities and towns, each with their own unique personality, SLO County has something for everyone. From rolling hills and scenic backroads to 90 miles of coastline, high-caliber California wine country to a top-tier culinary scene, your Central Coast adventure is waiting for you to come experience it. Trek miles of trails through hills and along coasts, take a yoga class on a paddleboard, eat at a Michelin Star restaurant, or simply stroll the many charming villages and shops. Whatever you’re looking for, you will find it here.

SAN LUIS OBISPO The hub of the county is San Luis Obispo. Meander through the bustling downtown, where streets are alive with outdoor dining patios and parklets. Or hit the greenbelt surrounding the city for top-tier hiking, biking and panoramic views. SLO is home to the regional airport, county government, the main Cuesta College campus and Cal Poly, with beaches and vineyards just minutes away.

NORTH COAST Take Highway 1 north out of San Luis Obispo, and you’ll find a scenic route leading to some of the county’s most well-known beach communities, Hearst Castle and the southern gateway of the famous Big Sur coastline.

A few miles southeast along Highway 227, you’ll find SLO’s wine region in quaint Edna Valley, amid coastal hills and acres of vineyards. To the west off Highway 101, the hills slope down to reveal Avila Beach, with wineries, shops, and restaurants fronting a long stretch of sandy shore.

Nearby Los Osos offers the Elfin Forest, a 90-acre natural area for exploring, and Montaña de Oro State Park, with camping, hiking, mountain biking, beaches, tide pools, beautiful vistas and equestrian trails.

NORTH COUNTY Golden hills filled with oak trees greet you as you drive along Highway 101 north of San Luis Obispo.

After cresting the Cuesta Grade, you come to Santa Margarita, offering wine tasting, zip lining and a serene lake just down the road.

A few miles farther north lies Atascadero, boasting a budding shopping core and expanding menu of modern dining, microbreweries, a state-of-theart multi screen cinema, Atascadero Lake and its surrounding park, and more than 100 animals at the county’s only zoo.

Hit Templeton for one of the county’s largest farmers’ markets, a rustic downtown and agricultural land loaded with grain, almond, cherry and apple farms and more of the North County’s signature vineyards and wineries.

First comes Morro Bay, featuring a fisherman’s wharf where you can pick up the fresh catch of the day. Visit the Embarcadero for dining, antiques and gift shops, kayak rentals and fishing tours, with towering Morro Rock providing a distinctive backdrop.

Keep heading north for a vintage 1950s-era surf town and pier in Cayucos, and Harmony, a tiny settlement boasting fresh small-batch ice cream, a pottery shop, glassworks studio and winery – and, according to the sign, a booming population of 18.

Up the road, the village of Cambria is bursting with artist studios, antiques, crafts and wine tasting rooms. Round that off with a visit to Moonstone Beach and you have a dynamite day trip.

Finally you’ll find San Simeon, wth Hearst Castle, elephant seals, ragged ocean cliffs and, a little further north, the Piedras Blancas Light Station and Ragged Point at the gateway to Big Sur. SOUTH COUNTY To the south along Highway 101, San Luis Obispo County offers worldfamous coastal towns, quaint village shopping and one of only a handful of beaches in the country you can drive on.

First up is Pismo Beach, offering the quintessential California beach town experience, including a pier plaza with a selfie-ready giant illuminated sign welcoming you to the popular surf and fishing spot with its many shops and eateries.

Then there’s Paso Robles, home to robust wine regions, a thriving downtown with an awardwinning culinary scene and the California Mid-State Fair, an annual summer extravaganza celebrating the county’s ranching history and winemaking present while drawing a diverse slate for A-list music acts and entertainers. For a day on the water, don’t miss nearby Nacimiento Lake.

Further south, Arroyo Grande offers a quaint downtown village filled with boutiques, restaurants, wine tasting and resident roosters as well as the road out to Lopez Lake, with boating, fishing and camping.

At the county’s northern edge, San Miguel is anchored by the late 1700s Mission San Miguel and features wineries sprinkled with numerous cattle ranches.

Finally, along Highway 101 at the southernmost edge of San Luis Obispo County is Nipomo, with horseback riding through beautiful Eucalyptus groves, hiking through peaceful dunes, one of the most popular barbecue joints in the area, and some lush world-class golf courses.

DISCOVER 2023 - 2024

Cut west onto Highway 1 south, and you’ll find Grover Beach and Oceano.

The Oceano dunes offer the finest and most extensive coastal sand dunes in California, popular with off-highway enthusiasts, as well as surfers, surf anglers and campers.

Walk Through SLO History A stroll through downtown San Luis Obispo will take you past many buildings and signposts tracing the eras from the city’s founding in 1772 to today.

Here are the can’t-miss spots that showcase San Luis Obispo’s layered history.

| DISCOVER 2023 - 2024

yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini Throughout San Luis Obispo, you are surrounded by the legacy of the yak tityu tityu yak tiłhini Northern Chumash tribe, who have lived on these lands for well more than 10,000 years.

Honor the tribe’s enduring stewardship of the land as you explore the area’s many coastal trails, oak woodlands and open spaces.

1772 – Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa The Spanish Missionaries’ standing in California history is being reevaluated for their treatment of native peoples, but it was Father Junípero Serro who put San Luis Obispo on the map when he established California’s fifth mission here in 1772. Considered one of the most beautiful and well-preserved in the state, the Mission sits at the heart of the city, its plaza a gathering place for the community, and remains an active Catholic Church.

1853 – Dallidet Adobe & Gardens Pierre Hypolite Dallidet, who established the first commercial vineyard on the Central Coast, built this home. The adobe contains many original furnishings and is surrounded by lush gardens. Visitors are welcome to stroll the property from 12-4 p.m. on weekends from April through October, but check that there isn’t a private event at historycenterslo.org.

1875 – Jack House & Gardens Pioneering rancher and banker Robert Edgar Jack built this elegant Victorian home, which has been preserved as a museum of Victorian life circa 1880 and popular spot for small weddings and events. Spring brings a concert series to the Jack House lawn, and docent tours take guests through the interior of the house, filled with all original furniture dating from the late nineteenth century.

1894 – Historic Railroad District The Southern Pacific Railroad route connected Los Angeles to San Francisco and brought the city into the industrial age. The district is now a busy neighborhood, home to the train station, railroad museum and numerous restaurants and businesses.

1905 – Presbyterian Church This church is built entirely of gray granite quarried from Bishop Peak, the third in the range of volcanic peaks that lead from San Luis Obispo to the Pacific Ocean.

1906 – The Creamery SLO County once was home to the largest dairy industry in the United States, served by this full-service creamery through 1974. Recently reborn as the Creamery Marketplace, it’s now a hip spot with shops, restaurants and of course, fresh ice cream.

1933 - The Monday Club Historic Clubhouse The Monday Clubhouse was designed by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan, who was traveling to the Central Coast periodically from Los Angeles to work with Hearst on the design and construction of his San Simeon Castle. In lieu of charging professional fees for designing the Monday Clubhouse, Miss Morgan asked if the membership would arrange for her room and board when she came to San Luis Obispo.

1940 – Fremont Theatre Step back in time at the historic Art Deco Fremont Theater. From the original neon marquee sign to the ocean themed interior, everything about the Fremont is extravagant, colorful and fun. The theater is now a live venue that brings a variety of acts to San Luis Obispo.

1956 – Kundert Medical Building One of the few commercial buildings ever designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this building is a popular stop on many architectural tours of SLO.

1884 – Ah Louis Store Chinese immigrant merchant Ah Louis built this structure of bricks himself. The shop, which anchored SLO’s Chinatown, served as a bank, post office, general store and community hub for the more than 2,000 Chinese laborers who came to San Luis Obispo to build the railroad.

Farmers’ Markets San Luis Obispo Farmers’ Market

With more than a dozen farmers’ markets each week throughout SLO county, the freshest produce is abundant. With offerings often grown just miles from each market, a unique experience awaits shoppers every day of the week. Meet the people growing the food you’re purchasing, get custom recipe suggestions with the freshest seasonal produce, and mingle with local restaurant chefs as they purchase produce and glean inspiration for that week’s menu.

The most popular is downtown San Luis Obispo’s year round Thursday night Farmers’ Market, which transforms Higuera Street into a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare and street fair where shoppers can grab a meal, buy local handmade art and goods, stock up on produce for the week or just enjoy perusing the booth-lined street. Check downtownslo.com/events/farmers-market for the latest on entertainment and other special happenings at the market.

Eat Local Courtesy of Libertine Brewing Company

Fresh, local ingredients and a focus on sustainability are a marker of the bold food culture this region offers. SLO County’s vibrant restaurant scene is filled with innovative fusion cuisine, seasonal menus and inventive flavor pairings.

Streetside patios take advantage of the nearly perfect year-round weather and offer ample seating for many restaurants, making it easy to snag a table with no long wait.

The SLO food scene goes beyond brick and mortar establishments. Fresh Cuban, Asian and vegan dishes, wood-fired pizzas, inventive grilled cheeses and all sorts of fusion fare can be found at a myriad of food trucks, pop-up kitchens and food stalls that can be found at places like the SLO Public Market.

A tasting poured by the winemaker themself. Friday night live music complementing a wine and food pairing amidst a sunset backdrop. Curated meals nestled in tasting rooms and amongst the vines. Whether you’re wine tasting for the first time or a proud connoisseur with an expert palate, San Luis Obispo County has the perfect wine experience for you.

With a wide range of soils and geography, SLO County has it all. From the acclaimed bold reds and creative blends of Paso Robles’ warm climate to the sublime whites and racy pinots of SLO Coast Region’s cool coastal vineyards, you’ll find your new favorite glass and learn about the process it took to make it, too.

SLO County gives you the opportunity to curate your ideal wine experience. Sit in a world-class tasting room atop a hill surrounded by vines. Sip in a tasting room nestled on a bustling downtown street. Drive windy, two-lane roads through the vineyards to find your perfect winery – picnic in hand! Check out Tin City for up-and-coming producers clustered together with a brewery, distillery, creamery and restaurant in an industrial park with an urban vibe.

Whatever you do, make sure to call or check online before you go – many wineries require reservations. pasowine.com. slocoastwine.com.

Craft Beer & Beyond

Big name breweries like Firestone Walker, SLO Brew and Central Coast Brewing initially put SLO County on the craft beer map, but the past few years have seen dozens of new local microbreweries crafting beer for every drinker. Looking to be served by the brewmaster in a laid-back, intimate space? Got it. More in the mood for a family-friendly brewery with food, games and live music? We’ve got that, too.

SLO is a haven for cocktail lovers. Local spirits, mixers and craft cocktails, many with ties to the local wine and beer industry, have popped up throughout the county, making it easier than ever to drink local. Whether you’re looking for an upscale cocktail bar with the best Old Fashioned around, hoping to taste local spirits made in the still on site, or on the hunt for a mocktail steps above the rest, you’ll find your new favorite drink and experience here.

Cannabis culture has also come on the scene, with dispensaries in San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay and Grover Beach. Offerings vary, but they all have welcoming budtenders eager to help you sort your options.

Camping Courtesy of Flying Flags Avila Beach

SLO County boasts a myriad of beautiful and accessible outdoor space, and the best way to fully immerse yourself in everything nature has to offer is to stay in it. If you’re looking to fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing at an oceanfront RV resort, experience a night of luxury glamping, get off the grid for a secluded backpacking weekend in Los Padres National Forest or just simply find a campsite in a state park, SLO has something for you. Just make sure to plan ahead: many of these spots fill up early.

Meetings & Conferences The central location, stellar weather, and daily flights landing at SLO Airport make San Luis Obispo the perfect place to get the team together, reunite far-flung family or plan that long-put off conference or celebration.

Many venues offer hybrid and virtual meeting options, giving you the peace of mind of flexibility. Between the ease of getting around, tempting eateries and atypical meeting venues (think wineries and rustic ranches), SLO is the smart and fun choice to connect and recharge for gatherings of all types and sizes.
