California Central Coast with fewer crowds

An April 2004 trip to Avila Beach by Kauai lover

You can visit a wonderful California central coast resort without the usual crowds. The San Luis Bay Inn in Avila Beach provides wonderful accommodations, excellent activity opportunities for reasonable prices, and it's all on a road less traveled.

Best Things Nearby:
Beach, marine life, good food, and lots of wineries.

Best Things About the Resort:
Very nice accommodations -- most condos have great ocean views and very friendly, courteous staff.

Resort Experience:
One of the best features of the San Luis Bay Inn is there is only one way into Avila Beach, which makes it less busy. It sits on the coast between San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach, so in addition to the great restaurants found in Avila Beach, there are many more very close by. It is quiet even though there is a road between the resort and the ocean.

Wine Tasting TourBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

The San Luis Bay Inn offers a four-hour wine tasting tour, which included transportation and visiting four area wineries for only $9 per person. The tour was fun, informative, and the best part was that we didn't have to drive. Our guide, Adrienne, was great! She was very professional and gave us lots of good information about the area.
