San Luis Obispo is a great place to visit! The Central Coast of California is the start of the Big Sur coastline of California, and home of one of California most popular attractions, Hearst Castle.

In addition to enjoying our natural beauty, there are lots of things to see and do in San Luis Obispo–a delightful downtown with great dining, shops and nightlife; arts center; Mission Plaza; historical walking tours; Children’s Museum; world-class performing arts center; and wine country tours. There are special events almost every weekend (check-out the on-line Community Calendar below).
