Things To Do
Hearst Castle
Marvel at the grand vision of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst with a tour of Hearst Castle, his luxurious estate turned museum, one of the world’s greatest showplaces. Just 45 minutes north of San Luis Obispo on Highway 1, you can explore the magnificent Hearst Castle, a California State Park.
Bubblegum Alley
One of the strangest, yet most popular landmark attractions in San Luis Obispo is Bubblegum Alley. This anomaly is set in the heart of Downtown San Luis Obispo. A hidden gem tucked away in a small alley right off Higuera Street, between Broad and Garden Street. This narrow, 70-foot-long alleyway invites visitors to partake in an unusual rite of passage: creating chewed bubblegum graffiti.
Avila Beach
Family and dog-friendly, Avila Beach is the perfect spot if you’re looking to picnic, featuring beach fire pits, barbeques, and picnic tables. With a pier and promenade, you can enjoy a collection of local seafood restaurants, ice cream shops, and wine bars.
Pismo Beach
Pismo Beach is the classic beach town! Pismo offers long white beaches for taking a pleasant stroll or for just enjoying the spectacular views of the Pismo Beach sunset. Enjoy Pismo’s great weather and fabulous area wineries. Central Coast Golfing, riding the dunes in a four-wheel ATV, horseback riding, surfing, body boarding, or fishing can all be part of your Pismo Beach experience!
Firestone Walker Brewing Company
The Paso Robles brewery is where they make all of their core beers as well as their storied barrel-aged offerings. The passionate brewing team is always pushing the envelope in the name of quality and innovation. The Taproom features a spacious dining hall, wrap-around bar, side patio and outdoor courtyard.
