Your guide to San Luis Obispo
All About San Luis Obispo
An equal distance from the wildlife haven of Morro Bay and laid-back Pismo Beach, the small city of San Luis Obispo sits midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco in California’s central coast region. As one of the state’s oldest communities, it’s filled with culture and history, featuring a 19th-century city center surrounded by a restored 18th-century mission, and local homes and businesses often have a Spanish architectural influence.
Aside from dreamy views of the Santa Lucia Mountains and coastline, a major draw in San Luis Obispo is its location in the state’s third-largest wine-producing county, and you can pair your local albariño with dinner made with ingredients sourced from the numerous local farmers markets. Vacation homes here are also well positioned for exploring the local art scene — you’ll find pop-up galleries sitting alongside permanent exhibitions — and kayaking, swimming, and hiking are all within easy reach.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in San Luis Obispo
Spring and summer are the best times to book vacation rentals in San Luis Obispo to see the lush surrounding vegetation at its peak. These are also the best times to visit nearby vineyards and explore trails along the beach. Early fall is your chance to see the change of foliage at Lopez Canyon and enjoy the outdoors before temperatures start to dip. The weather can be somewhat unpredictable here, so pack layers along with an umbrella or raincoat when traveling outside of the summer season.
January and February are characterized by cooler, greyer days, and you’ll be one of fewer visitors on the nearby beaches. The city’s film festival takes place in March, with screenings in downtown San Luis Obispo.
Top things to do in San Luis Obispo
Edna Valley
Just a short drive south from San Luis Obispo is Edna Valley, a region known for its cluster of wineries and award-winning pinot noir — you’ll find established brands and under-the-radar producers offering tastings at their vineyards. Visit the Old Edna Townsite for a picnic with wine and cheese or nearby Arroyo Grande Valley to browse the local markets.
San Luis Obispo Museum of Art
Perched on Monterey Street downtown, the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art showcases California artists across three galleries, focusing on contemporary works. Head to SLOMA, as the locals call it, for a taste of local prints, sculptures, and paintings. If you time your visit right, you can join one of the monthly talks that take you through the exhibits.
Montaña de Oro State Park
Ten miles west from the city is Montaña de Oro State Park, a popular spot thanks to its abundance of trails for cyclists and hikers, beautiful peaks, and sandy beach. Nature lovers are also drawn here for the seabirds and otters. Take one of the coastal trails by Spooner’s Cove for views of the ocean and unique rock formations.
