slonewsJanuary 8, 2012Many people mistakenly-pronounce the town's name as "ah-VEE-lah" given the name's Spanish origin. However, the correct Spanish pronunciation is "AH-vee-luh"
This is the best beach to bring the kids. Great playground and fun areas to explore ! It's always warmer here too. Great little shops as well.
Joey WheelerAugust 14, 2017Fantastic oceanside community with great shops and restaurants. Farmers market on Fridays with live music is so fun.
Ben OelsnerApril 6, 2013Eat at the Avila Market and Deli. It's not just a deli. A variety of good food. Then head to Mr. Ricks. for a drink on the patio.
- Van Curaza Surf SchoolJune 27, 2014Great beach to play around on! A wonderful beach for little kids to learn how to surf.
Christina Sejr PedersenJuly 14, 2016Very stylish houses and a great beach. Much more classy than Santa Cruz.
Its generally the warmest beach near SLO, but if you want to have a bonfire head the three minutes or so over to Port SLO
- Edie SuttonJune 30, 2016Not my thing. Very crowded. Cookie cutter beach houses and hotels. Fun shopping though. But just that. Junk tourist crap.

Timothy McSwainNovember 20, 2011Careful where you wander, if you don't want to end up on the local nudist beach.
Rob WooldridgeSeptember 17, 2011Come here to relax and enjoy the sun, but not to surf. Wave action is tiny.
Watching the dolphins play and the birds dive for fish is both pretty awesome.
