One of the great places along the central California coast is the town of Avila Beach/Port San Luis (pop. 1600). There are so many world class destinations in the area, that most people just drive right past this turn off and never give it a second thought. The day we were there on our last roadie, it was initially so foggy that you could barely see anything. We hung around for a while and the fog thinned enough to let a little light through.
One of many seals hanging around under the pier.
The pier was built in 1873. There are exactly zero tourist attractions on it.
A lot of different contrasts in this scene.
There are no slips or docking places for the small fishing fleet here, so when not at sea, they anchor off the shore.
Gossips...
No marina for the few pleasure craft in the area. I was pleasantly surprised that this photo turned out okay, despite the fog. Or maybe it was because of the fog.
