The focus at Avila’s Farmer’s market is seafood, but really it’s having a great time on the coast, in the sun, walking, dancing, eating and people watching. You’ll find 25 vendors selling everything from lavender soap to strawberrys and cream. Get there early if you want a seat at Mr. Rick’s, a very convenient watering hole.
Check out this recent afternoon at Avila…
Spring is here when the wildflowers are in bloom, and the among the places most know for blooms in San Luis Obispo County is Shell Creek Road just off Highway 58.
If starting from San Luis Obispo, head North on the 101 get off on the Santa Margarita Exit and stay on the 58 until you arrive at Shell Creek Road.
The Bob Jones trail is one of the many jems of the Central Coast. It’s a casual 1.5 mile meander from just off the 101 to Avila Beach that’s great for family biking, jogging, strolling or rolling on a skateboard or skates — bring back rollerblades!!!
Suggestions – plan a pit stop on the East end of the trail at the Woodstone Marketplace. Or head out on a Friday afternoon and arrive in Avila in time for the Farmer’s Market.
The best place to start is from the parking lot on Ontario Rd. just after the San Luis Bay Dr. exit off the 101. Eventually, this lovely jaunt will connect San Luis Obispo to Avila, but for now enjoy the relaxing pace of this comfortable trail.
The El Camino Art Association has been supporting arts on the Central Coast for over 50 years. Much of their efforts during the year go to raising money for student scholarships.
From the El Camino Art Associations website:
Our Mission Statement
The El Camino Art Association’s Mission Statement is to promote art and encourage support of the artists in our local communities. Of special interest to the Association is encouraging upcoming young artists to continue to develop their artistic talents.
ECAA Scholarship Fund
ECAA has established a scholarship fund to encourage young artists, the ECAA Scholarship Fund. High school seniors at Arroyo Grande, Nipomo and Lopez High Schools are invited to enter in a juried art show and the art students chosen receive a cash award on behalf of ECAA.

Sal’s Chevy has been through a lot and hasn’t looked better since it rolled off the assembly line. It would be easy to go on and on about The Phoenix, but Sal says it much better. AGHS photo students took all of these fine pictures and recorded the audio.
On a budget? Oceanfront dining can be expensive, so why not take advantage of the one of many on the water picnic tables that can be found along the coast from Pismo to Cambria? Pair this idea with a trip to one of the weekly farmers markets and you’re eating heathy and in style.
One of our favorite farmer’s picnic table combos is the Cambria Farmer’s Market on Friday with what ever deliciousness we pick up and a table just beneath the pier at the Hearst Cove. Also excellent and one stop lunch, is the Baywood-Los Osos Farmers Market on Monday and a short walk to one of the bay-front tables just on the other side of the Back Bay Inn.
Cambria Farmer’s Market, Veterans’ Memorial Hall Parking Lot, Cambria, CA Fridays 2:30-5p.m.
Baywood Farmer’s Market, 1300 Block of 2d Street, Baywood, Monday 2-5pm
Walking into Fiona Bleu is like stepping into Kaleidoscope that’s stopped spinning. It’s a gallery full of beauty, colors, surprises and good energy. Rowan’s art and the work of the artists he features comes alive in the open, high ceiling space. Beyond the paintings, mobiles and sculpture, you’ll find equally as wonderful jewelry, glass and other gift items.
