Our home is Los Osos, on California's central coast. As you can see on the map to the left, we're north of Los Angeles and south of Monterey. We're right on Morro Bay and about 15 minutes from San Luis Obispo. Los Osos is right on the water, so we have a mild climate. The temperature never gets much above 80 degrees F and never drops too far below 50 degrees F. The skies are clear and the ocean breeze refreshing. We get rain in the winter (December through February), but won't see a drop the other 9 months of the year. Our nicest seasons are fall and spring. We get coastal fog in the summer, so everyone heads into San Luis Obispo for swimming lessons or the Sierras for camping. |
Montana de Oro State Park
Montana de Oro is a wilderness park at the western border of Los Osos. The area is covered with hiking trails and beautiful coastal cliffs. A hike along the bluffs leads you to a number of quiet coves, where you'll often find otters and sea lions catching their lunch. Sunset Magazine featured Montana de Oro in it's travel section a while back. I've duplicated the article here for your enjoyment. Click on the title to visit the page.Morro Bay Natural History Museum
The Morro Bay Natural History Museum is a fun place to start your exploration of the central coast. The museum is great for kids and the docents host a number of hiking and bird watching events each week. The museum is situated on a bluff overlooking Morro Bay, and is right next door to a protected heron nesting area. Click on the title to visit the page.Hearst Castle
Los Osos is about a half hour south of San Simeon, home of world famous Hearst Castle. Willam Randolph Hearst (the publishing giant) built this monsterous mansion high atop a mountain, overlooking nearly 40 miles of California's coast. It's quite a sight to see.
