Sun-soaked days and French-inspired bites. 🌊🇫🇷
@bluemoonoveavila has been a beloved Avila Beach staple for years, and one croque monsieur in, you’ll understand why.
Come for the coast, stay for lunch... or dinner!🌙
The Avila Beach Farmers’ Market is BACK and kicking off its season on May 1!
Join us every Friday from 4–8 PM on the Promenade for one of the Central Coast’s favorite weekly traditions. 
Fresh local produce, delicious food booths, live music, and that unbeatable oceanfront setting, it’s the perfect way to roll into the weekend. Grab dinner, shop local, and soak up the energy as the sun sets over the bay.
Free trolley rides make getting there easy, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy.
Fridays just got a whole lot better. See you there 🌊🎶
This might be the best kept secret in Avila Beach 🌊
Grab a kayak from @avilabeachpaddlesports and make your way to the Point San Luis Lighthouse, you never know what you might find 🦦
Save this for your next trip to SLO CAL 📌
From the forest and creek to the sea 🌿🌊
The Bob Jones Trail is one of those paths you can take at your own pace… walk it, bike it, soak it all in as you wind through shady trees and along the creek all the way to the coast.
And if you’re feeling it, take a little side quest to @sycamoresprings and wander into the Secret Garden, a quiet detour that makes the day even better. #avilabeach
