Avila Valley Barn

Before hopping on the 2.5-mile Bob Jones City to the Sea Trail (which starts right behind the farm) in San Luis Obispo, CA, pick up a delicious picnic lunch from the Avila Valley Barn. The paved, dog-friendly trail winds its way through the Avila Valley, following a beautiful stream all the way to Avila Beach. Walking a half mile past the trail's official end along the fairly narrow bike line on Avila Beach Drive can take you to one of the town's two off-leash dog beaches (Olde Port Beach or Fisherman's Beach).

With a playground, sand volleyball, BBQs, and migratory birds, this lakefront site is ideal for boating and fishing.
