Sandy Shores
Soak Up the Sun
The half-mile long beach is protected from the wind by Point San Luis, which means that the overall climate of Avila Beach is warmer and more enjoyable than other beaches on the Central Coast. The water can be quite cold as it is the open ocean.
In the summer months, the average temperature hovers around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Explore the Area
In addition to playing in the sand and enjoying the tranquil sounds of the ocean lapping the shores, Avila Beach itself has a variety of fun sights and sounds. The Central Coast Aquarium is a small but robust non-profit which specializes in educational, hands-on exhibits.
You can also rent a bicycle and bike the Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail, an easy 3 mile long paved trail!
Visit the Hot Springs
Relax & Unwind
These bubbling, warm mineral springs near the ocean were discovered at the turn of the century by people digging for oil. Instead, they discovered naturally warmed hot springs! Visit the Avila Hot Springs for their outdoor freshwater pool, or enjoy a soak in their classic soaking pool.
Thermal mineral springs have been used for thousands of years as for rejuvenation and restoration. The soaking pool is maintained at a constant 104 degrees.

For a more luxurious experience, Sycamore Springs rent their hot tubs out by the hour for a private retreat in a natural environment. These open air hot tubs line the resort’s hillside and are available for $22.50/hr to the public on weekdays and $27.50 Friday through Sunday.
