Recreation

So, you're interested in a little outdoor fun. Believe us when we say we have plenty of room to accommodate all kinds of recreational activities.

San Luis Obispo is the ideal place to start a vacation adventure. Local's and visitors live for the outdoors, local beaches and surf, hillside hiking trails and shaded banks of the downtown creek.

Not only is San Luis Obispo a stone's throw from miles of national forest, state parks, sandy beaches, lakes and mountain ranges, but it was recently named on of the nation's Best Adventure Towns by National Geographic Travel.

Combine these features with year-round mild weather and you've got an incredible recreation mecca!

We've got biking, golf, water skiing, hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, fishing, camping, surfing, rock climbing, swimming, scenic strolls...just about whatever you want to do. And, in most cases, you can rent what you need from our local and knowledgeable shops and service companies.

Country roads and scenic terrain provide cyclists, runners and outdoor enthusiasts truly exquisite views.

The ocean and three major lakes in the county offer great wet-and-wild fun. Boat rentals, equipment rentals and fuel are available at all three.
