Cayucos

Derived from the Native American word “kayak,” Cayucos is still a relatively secret coastal destination. Those that are familiar, however, love this community for its laid-back seaside charm and plethora of recreational activities.

Located on the Highway 1 Discovery Route between Morro Bay and Cambria, Cayucos is known for its historic pier and breezy boardwalk—now dotted with charming boutiques, local dining hot spots and a trove of antique shops. 

Get out and explore dog-friendly beaches, gnarly surf spots and plenty of biking, hiking and equine trails webbing the hills. Discover the secret lives of anemones and crustaceans in the tide pools. Take in epic sunsets from a variety of vantage points. Whatever’s calling you to SLO CAL, you’ll find it in Cayucos.
