WEEKEND GETAWAY - CALIFORNIA
Avila Beach
Avila Beach
is an often overlooked weekend destination in
California about
half way between Los Angeles and
San Francisco. There is
only one exit off the 101 to get there and if you blink, you'll miss it.
Just after
Pismo Beach, and right before you go round the bend and head towards
San Luis Obispo, take the Avila
Beach Dr exit and you are good to go.
Avila is a tiny little town, but boasts a pedestrian boardwalk along the beach, great beaches full of lots of sand, and occasional excitement and a sense of danger contributed by the presence of Carcharodon carcharias (better known as the Great White Shark) in the sparkling blue water.
Don't let that hold you back though, the water is way too cold for sensible people to swim in anyway, and the last person to get eaten was swimming amongst the seals, which is just asking for trouble. Stay on dry land and you'll be fine.
