About Avila Beach
Avila Beach, tucked along California’s Central Coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco, is a peaceful escape with milder weather than nearby beaches, thanks to the sheltering Point San Luis. Its serene atmosphere and scenic shores make it a hidden gem for visitors seeking tranquility.
Founded in the 19th century as a shipping port, Avila Beach is known for its natural hot springs and maritime history. Landmarks like the Point San Luis Lighthouse and three piers showcase its heritage, while whale watching has become a favorite seasonal attraction.
Today, Avila Beach offers a range of quiet activities, from beach relaxation and outdoor sports to wine tasting and local markets. The town’s restoration in 1999 has added modern touches, with inviting shops, restaurants, and cozy gathering spots, creating an ideal setting for a relaxing beachside retreat.

Cobbo’s Beach House in Avila Beach is just steps from the shore and a short drive to essential destinations like the airport and highway, with local markets only a quick walk away.
