San Luis Obispo is located about 200 miles northwest of Los Angeles tucked into the mountains. This is still by many accounts a secret destination for many vacationers. Because of its location hidden in the hills it is often passed by. The best way to check out the town is by foot. You can walk around the Victorian homes and shops and just enjoy the mild, yet warm climate. Among the stores in San Luis Obispo, you will find plenty of antique stores and specialty shops that have mingled in with a few name brand stores. In the foothills that surround the town there are dozens of wineries that offer wine tasting and a bit of local wine history. Just west of town are some of the best swimming beaches in the state. Popular activities along the water’s edge include whale watching, surf fishing and charter fishing. The trails and roads that surround the town are great for hiking and biking. And golfers will enjoy the challenges laid before them by the local courses. Another great day trip is the Hearst Castle. This magnificent estate was built in the early 1900’s and is worth a visit. With all the activities and relaxing your can do here, a vacation in San Luis Obispo will be one that you will remember for years to come. The closest airport to San Luis Obispo is the San Luis County Regional Airport (SBP). |
