    Many people mistakenly-pronounce the town's name as "ah-VEE-lah" given the name's Spanish origin. However, the correct Spanish pronunciation is "AH-vee-luh"

    This is the best beach to bring the kids. Great playground and fun areas to explore ! It's always warmer here too. Great little shops as well.

    Eat at the Avila Market and Deli. It's not just a deli. A variety of good food. Then head to Mr. Ricks. for a drink on the patio.

    Its generally the warmest beach near SLO, but if you want to have a bonfire head the three minutes or so over to Port SLO

    Not my thing. Very crowded. Cookie cutter beach houses and hotels. Fun shopping though. But just that. Junk tourist crap.

    Careful where you wander, if you don't want to end up on the local nudist beach.

    Come here to relax and enjoy the sun, but not to surf. Wave action is tiny.
