Avila Beach, CA is a small coastal beach town hidden just a few miles of the 101 freeway. Since its more hidden, it's usually less crowed the local beaches like Morro Bay & Pismo Beach. Avila is located on the beautiful Central Coast of California equidistant from Los Angeles and San Francisco.
In the heart of downtown Avila you will find a half mile of beach split down the middle by the Avila Beach Pier. This is a family beach and is enjoyed by thousands of people and families every year. Fisherman’s Beach is the smallest of the beaches in Avila & Port San Luis Harbor and its called dog beach by the locals. No matter what time of day it is, you will more than likely find dogs running free through the surf. The Port San Luis Harbor District currently allows well behaved dogs to be off the leash anytime on this beach and Olde Port Beach. And just down the street is Pirates Cove.
