Avila Beach

Avila Beach is about 10 miles (16 km) south of San Luis Obispo off Highway 101. You can get off the freeway at either San Luis Bay Drive or Avila Beach Drive. The downtown portion is easily walkable. Driving can take you to some more far flung destinations, but travelling by bike is also a good way, with a bike path from 101 to the town. Outdoor activities include swimming in the gorgeous but often frigid Pacific Ocean and basking in the sun. Golf and tennis are readily available at the Inn at Avila Beach.
