It’s time to find your happy place
San Luis Obispo is the perfect place for a stress-free family vacation.
PRESS RELEASE
San Luis Obispo, CA (Immediate Release) – On California’s fabled Highway 1, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, lies a town whose name is synonymous with tranquility.
San Luis Obispo, or SLO as its commonly known, is home to relaxed cafes, sidewalks that lend themselves to a slow stroll, green hills that are great for hiking and a resident symphony that offers iconic listening. Just ask a local and they’ll point the way to their favorite trail, barbecue joint or one of the many local attractions.
Bring your family and discover for yourself why a recent study revealed that San Luis Obispo’s residents are more likely to smile and experience joy than those who live elsewhere. The area’s natural beauty, free concerts, outdoor activities, cultural offerings and scenic stretches of coastline contribute to the relaxed and welcoming local attitude.
Visit the Thursday night Farmers’ Market, held year-round, where the growers themselves bring the freshest produce and flowers to a six-block street fair, complete with award winning food, craft vendors and live entertainment, starts at 6 p.m.
An interactive children’s museum, art center and history museum add to SLO’s cultural appeal without adding any pretension. Festivals and special events to suit all interests take place in the plaza of the historic Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Just 45 minutes north, families can visit Hearst Castle and experience one of California’s most historically significant collections of art and might even catch a glimpse of a resident zebra grazing in the pastures that surround the Castle.
Lucky enough to have a four-legged family member? Dog-friendly hotels, restaurants, beaches, events and attractions are common place throughout the city.
In and around SLO, extensive hiking and biking trails thread through the city’s open spaces. State parks, national forests and some of the most beautiful lakes in California open up myriad other outdoor adventure opportunities. Ten minutes from downtown lie miles of uncrowded beaches, pristine coastline and the Pacific Ocean. All this combined with 315 days of sunshine a year makes SLO a paradise for the outdoor enthusiast.
Whether you are looking for a cultural, outdoor or luxurious family vacation, SLO is the perfect place for a stress-free experience.
San Luis Obispo is located on the Central Coast of California, half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. For more information about San Luis Obispo, call 877-SLO-TOWN or visit www.SanLuisObispoVacations.com.
