Awesome little beach town about 15 minutes away with fun shops, good food and great live music.
Port San Luis Harbor, great family beaches for tanning, and playing in the waves. Offers walkable downtown with restaurants and shopping. During summer months Fish and Farmer's Market with live music and great local seafood.
