Whatever kind of escape you might be after, Arroyo Grande and the surrounding San Luis Obispo county has got your covered. If you like water sports, the ocean is just a short distance away and offers secluded bays to kayak, Pacific waves to surf, and boats pulling water skiers. Further inland, the quiet meandering country roads take travelers to hiking trails through the canyons and adrenaline-inducing downhill mountain biking routes. The rolling landscape has helped to create some of California's most challenging golf courses where tourists can show off their expert – or amateurish – swings.
Arroyo Grande enjoys a pleasant temperature throughout the year. The spring is a wonderful time to visit with clear skies and warm days, ideal for a walk along the sandy dunes and trails of Pismo Beach. The summer heats up, but the cooling sea breeze means the temperature stays comfortable.

Winter gets cold but rarely drops below freezing.
Arroyo Grande is surrounded by Californian vineyards that thrive in the mild coastal temperatures cooled by the sea breeze. Much of the nearby coast is backed by the Guadalupe-Nipomo dunes eco-system, home to some unique and endemic wildlife. The Huasna Valley is the agricultural heartland, and supports much of the fruit and vegetable farming in San Luis Obispo. If you enjoy food, visit the local markets for an authentic slice of central Californian rural life. Don't forget the ocean which can be explored from boats departed from the harbor in Port San Luis.
