Head out to the beach.

The beaches on the Central Coast are stunning. Be overpowered with the majesty and beauty of Montana de Oro, bird watch and enjoy the natural flora at the Guadalupe Dunes, Play beach volleyball, surf, and play at Pismo Beach, plan a picnic and family day at Avila Beach, or check out the tide pools in Shell Beach. Don't forget that people aren't the only ones who enjoy the beaches so stop by and see the Elephant Seals in San Simeon, check for whales in Morro Bay and Cambria, and always keep your eyes open for the sea lions and dolphins.
