County is the heart of California’s Central Coast where you can spend your day ex-ploring miles of white, sandy beaches, browse through unique stores and museums, wine tasting or hiking or bicycling in and around the rolling hills - the choices are endless.SLO

About 250,000 people call San Luis Obispo County home. Over a dozen delightful towns and cities, including the City of San Luis Obispo, plus Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Avila Beach, Cambria, Cayucos, Grover Beach, Los Osos - Baywood Park, Morro Bay, Nipomo, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, San Miguel, San Simeon near Hearst Castle, Temple-ton and others create a single extended community. Spread across the beaches, mountains, and valleys of this special part of the California Central Coast, these distinctive cities and unincorporated areas between them provide an incredible variety of

recreational and cultural opportunities. All of these places can be reached by an easy 30 minute drive or less from the City of San Luis Obispo, through some of the most beautiful country you will ever see. The local food and wine producers are just two reasons for the many excellent restaurants in the county. The large student base, many visitors and supportive local population has also allowed many nightclubs and restaurants to offer first class local and visiting live entertainment. Outdoor options also abound, including won-derful hiking and biking.
