Avila Beach is where Fun Meets the Sun! If you haven’t been to Avila Beach lately, you owe yourself a visit. Located along the blue Pacific, equal distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Avila enjoys the friendliest climate on California’s Central Coast. You’ll find that same small-town charm you remember, along with the warm sunny microclimate and the same beautiful beaches, but now they’re surrounded by world-class amenities. Great new hotels, restaurants, shops and stores are waiting for your Avila Beach journey of discovery.
Avila is easily California’s greatest getaway. Close, convenient and economical — yet a world apart. Here resort living takes over, and entertainment is in the fresh salt air. Amenity-laden hotels, delightful oceanfront restaurants, wonderful local wines, and a variety of shopping for everyone.
As a source of natural, mineral hot springs, Avila means spas: hot tub soaking, new age retreats.
