Things To Do in Avila Beach

The Avila Beach Trolley is a free service that connects the Pismo Beach Premium Outlets to Port San Luis, via several stops along the route.

With its long stretches of white sand, boardwalks, pet-friendly spots, wildlife and bustling harbor, Avila Beach has attracted visitors for centuries.

Come kick back and beat the heat while relaxing in the shade of the palm trees and ocean breezes.

All treatments at the spa come with a complimentary day pass to the open-air mineral hot springs tub and Olympic-size swimming pool.

When it comes to old-fashioned fun and farm-fresh flavor, the Avila Valley Barn fits the bill. Once a tiny fruit stand, the Avila Barn now offers a petting zoo, hayrides, gift store, sweet shop and bakery.
