Things To Do
Montaña de Oro State Park
Enjoy a beautiful drive along the Central Coast, and don't skip the short walk to MDO's rolling sand dunes.
Bishop's Peak
This iconic hike takes you to the top of the tallest of the Morros, also known as the "Nine Sisters" – a chain of peaks in San Luis Obispo. The trail takes you on a 4 mile round-trip. The view is well worth it!
Bob Jones Trail
This easygoing 2.5 mile trail is great for walking and biking.
Avila Valley Barn
This sweet Central Coast gem is at its best in October, when the pumpkin patch arrives at the Barn.
Thursday Night Farmer's Market
If you're planning to arrive in town early, be sure to catch downtown San Luis Obispo's farmer's market on Thursday evening. There are amazing local vendors–we'd especially recommend a stop at the donut truck.
Flour House
Our favorite restaurant of more than seven years – and, according to Vince, the best pizza you'll find outside of Italy. (Quite an endorsement!) Stop in for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza and pasta.
Giuseppe's Cucina Rustica
Hit up Giuseppe's for an amazing Italian dinner.
Sidecar
This cute cocktail bar is right downtown, and is perfect for an apertif of a nightcap.
Mr. Rick's
This divey beachfront bar is right on Avila Beach's boardwalk. Occassionally: live music. Always: amazing Coronaritas.
Firestone Grill
Firestone is a SLO staple, serving delicious central coast barbecue. Don't leave town without trying the tri-tip sandwich!
High Street
High Street Deli not only serves up the best sandwiches on the Central Coast – it's also a historic landmark in San Luis Obispo, dating back to 1927. Our go-to orders are the Turkey Pesto and Chipotle Beef sandwiches on Dutch Crunch bread, but you can't order wrong!
Lincoln Market & Deli
We adore Lincoln Deli, one of SLO's best sando shops. Their "Almost Famous" burrito nursed more than one hangover in our college years.
Scout Coffee Co.
Pay a visit to one of Scout's locations for great coffee, pastries, and local goods.
