San Luis Obispo

Touted as one of the “Happiest Places in America,” San Luis Obispo is a special town full of outdoor epicurean and cultural adventures. Tucked between the Coast Range and the Pacific, San Luis Obispo, or “SLO,” offers all the spoils of life.

A Mediterranean marine climate, a world-class wine region, a spectacular view of thousands of acres of protected open space, an award-winning downtown filled with charming shops, restaurants, and hotels placed inside turn-of-the-century mercantile buildings and a dynamic nightlife are all on tap for travelers.

Home to a college and known as a vibrant and walkable town, stroll downtown to experience SLO Creek, the beautifully restored Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, museums, a world-famous weekly farmers market and more. Located just minutes from pastoral Edna Valley wine country and the beach towns of SLO CAL's Highway 1, visitors can easily go from downtown to vineyard to beach within minutes.
