Los Osos & Baywood Park

The Land of SLO CAL boasts its fair share of ocean oases. Yet, Los Osos & Baywood Park’s closeness to the calm bayside waters make it a uniquely relaxing hideaway. It’s also home to another hidden treasure tucked just off Highway 1 — Montaña de Oro State Park, where wildflowers flourish in the spring and tide pools brim with marine life all year round. Pique your curiosity with a hike or bike ride to a coastal peak offering up sweeping views. Down by the seashore, come saddle up for a horseback ride on the beach. Or if you like, kayak your way across a natural estuary filled with native birds. Prefer birdies of the golfing kind? Tee it up among the sea pines on one of California’s finest executive courses. Whether you’re trekking through the Elfin Forest or stopping by the local farmers market, you’ll form a close relationship with nature in Los Osos + Baywood Park.
