Central Coast Charm: Wine, waves and walking trails make Avila Beach a win-win-win destination

A coastal glamping resort situated on the bluffs of Avila Beach, Flying Flags Avila Beach offers visitors cozy cottages or Jupes tents. The cottages include plush bathrobes, Malin + Goetz bath products, a mini-fridge, sink, electric kettle, in-room espresso maker, heat and air conditioning and a propane fire pit. Dogs are welcome, and wheelchair-accessible doorways and a walk-in shower with a seat make the cottages oh-so accessible. Jupes are for the more adventurous: They are 100-plus square feet and include a queen-size bed, high ceilings, birchwood flooring and storage space. There is no heating or air conditioning — just breezy ventilation — and pets are not allowed. Both accommodations have a private patio and ocean views. Property highlights are easy access to the beach, a bluff-top welcome center with cornhole and ladder golf, live music on weekends, communal picnic spaces and a dog beach just across the street.

A glamp ground for outdoor lovers, Avila Pismo RV Resort & Campground has it all: 64 spacious RV sites, 22 charming cabins, a pool and jacuzzi, a game room, a playground, a general store and a dog park. Guests almost do not want to leave but are eventually pulled away by the lure of hiking, paddle boarding and sampling locally produced wine at the nearby tasting rooms.
