Oceano Campground - Pismo State Beach

Highlight • Rest Area

Large campground between Meadow Creek lagoon and dunes a mile away from the beach, entrance next to modern visitor center

Monarch Butterfly Grove - Pismo Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

Long park behind the campground and the coastal dunes, with pleasant trails under tall eucalyptus trees. The amazing Monarch butterflies migrate here over several hundred miles from the Sierra Nevada, Oregon and Washington State, to overwinter in the mild climate, hibernating several months high up in the eucalyptus trees. Volunteers with telescopes make it possible to find and see them, and provide information. The monarch habitat destruction by agriculture, pesticides, and climate change has caused the famous migrating population to colapse. From previously hundreds of millions to just a few thousand. Extinction is a real risk in the near future.

Bridge over Pismo Creek

Highlight • Bridge

Trails follow parts of Pismo Creek through Ira Lease Park and on the other side a trail bridge crosses the creek from Mary Herrington Park. Probably the safest way to get from the RV resort area to the beach trails.

Montaña de Oro State Park Trail

Highlight • Trail

There is a wonderful bike path (gravel) that winds along Montana State Park. It is easily ridden on a road bike. The views are epic.

Spooner's Cove

Highlight • Beach

Super beautiful bay with a gorgeous beach! But don't stop there, keep going to ride along the coast in Montana de Oro!

Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve

Highlight • Forest

Los Osos Oaks Nature Preserve features 90 acres of century-old dwarf oaks in a coastal dune landscape.

The oak trees, over 800 years old, have extraordinary gnarled roots, which spread out over the hiking trails. A magnificent site not to be missed!

Los Osos Valley Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Los Osos Valley, nestled between southern San Luis Obispo and Baywood-Los Osos, is beautiful, with the town of Los Osos at its heart. As you ride along this stretch of road, you will see fantastic views of the Irish Hills to the south and five of the Nine Sisters volcanic mountains to the north. Flowing through the valley, Los Osos Creek opens up into southern Morro Bay.
