San Luis Obispo County, California

SLO County is on the Central Coast, about halfway between LA and San Francisco. The city of San Luis Obispo has that college town vibe thanks to Cal Poly.
Pismo Beach is great for clamming and dune buggies. Paso Robles has been giving Napa a run for its money with wineries. Morro Bay has that big rock and some good seafood.
It’s not as crowded as Southern California, but you still get those nice beaches. It’s perfect for the sun, surf, and serenity.
