What a wonderful trip through an eventful life! We attended a 50th anniversary party at this…read morebeautifully located event center last weekend and were very impressed with the facilities. Friends and family gathered to make this a truly memorable occassion in this lovely place. Located on a main street in Avila Beach, the Community Center is behind the Post Office. Since virtually everything in Avila is relatively new, this is a bright modern and very functional space with a lovely view from the back balcony. There is a large parking lot below, which is hampered a bit by some ongoing construction. As someone who coordinated a huge social event in the county for half a decade, I can really appreciate the facilities available here to the public. There is a large kitchen with a pass through to the main room, there are tables and chairs available, and bathrooms off a small side hall. The banquet/meeting room also has AV equipment available for rent if desired. The multi-purpose room holds up to 150 people depending on the use. The rates vary from $50-$60 per hour, and there is a security deposit as well as a cleaning fee, which also vary depending on usage. You don't have to live in Avila Beach to use this facility. You can get a discount by joining the Avila Beach Civic Assocation, and being a member for one year to obtain 25% off the fees. I attended as a guest, and really enjoyed the guests, the fresh sea air, and beautiful weather at Avila, as well as the gorgeous sunset as the event wound down. I will keep this venue in mind for future fun!

This off-the-beaten path local historic little park &…read morehistorical preserve, is likely not to be of much interest to any, but us locals. In general, the restored houses & the interesting stuff, is not open to the public, except on special occasions. I am a donor & supporter and even I often get forgotten for email invites. Since I am a relatively new local & was not born & raised here, my enthusiasm is not as great as those who can trace their ancestry back to Price's time. Awhile back, when I first donated, I went to check the place out. I found some hardy volunteers struggling with cutting grass & dealing with a water leak. I helped as best as I could, until a kind police officer used quite a bit of muscle to fully close a shut off main. After that ordeal, the caretaker was kind enough to give me a brief, but nice little tour of the inside of the Price house. While volunteers did an amazing job of restoration, some stuff was not original. The history of Price house can be found on the internet, if you are curious. As for the park area itself, it is pleasant enough, but rather raw & undeveloped. There is really not much to do nor see...especially for kids. I do appreciate the place for it's history & it still being sort of a serene oasis among the ugly developments. I have also found it to be a nice spot for some wildflower pics when in season. I think that it is a nobel endeavor & they do on-line donations if you are kind enough.

San Luis Obispo County Public Health officials announced an order on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 for…read moreall county residents to shelter in their homes. The shelter-at-home order goes into effect Thursday, March 19, 2020 at 5 p.m. This order is to aid in preventing the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The order is not a shelter-in-place, which is an order to barricade ones self inside one's home. The shelter-at-home order applies to pubic and private gatherings of any number of people outside a household or living space. This order encourages social distancing at this time, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing -- a term that epidemiologists are using to refer to a conscious effort to reduce close contact between people and hopefully stymie community transmission of the virus. Activities that residents can still undertake while the order in place include: obtaining food, medications and sanitary items, outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, surfing, etc., helping to care for pets or relatives in other households, as well as going to health care appointments. In the city of SLO, bars, breweries and wine-tasting facilities are to close. Restaurants and coffee shops may only sell food and drinks to go, or for delivery. All essential government operations and businesses will remain open, including grocery stores, gas stations, and banks. According to a county official, residents are encouraged to voluntarily comply, however violations could be considered a misdemeanor. It is anticipated the shelter-at-home order will remain in effect for thirty days.

The venue is beautiful. The seating is fine and there's food to purchase along with wine and water. I didn't take pictures of the lighthouse, but I did go through it and I've been there before. This is a must see in Avila Beach. There are still more shows this summer.

WORST customer service EVER. I purchased tickets online for what I thought was the 1pm tour,…read morebecause that's what the website said, but when the tickets arrived via text they said 1pm. So I emailed for clarification and they responded confirming that I had a 1pm tour. The website clearly says 11 and 1! When I arrived at 12:40 to get into the gate, it was locked. We called and the lady (same lady from email) told me that my tour was at 12 and that I was late, they don't do refunds, she already sent our docent home and that I was wrong on my time. She was SO RUDE!! I do not know how someone like this is still employed here, even if she volunteers, she's costing this place money! I checked my email again, it said 1pm! I called her back to tell her that she was wrong and she continued to blame me for her mistake. So after all of that nothing, I can use the tickets at a later time, even though I'm from out of town, and may not be able to come back. She did not care. This experience has been very disappointing. I really wanted to see the lighthouse, but I do NOT want to see her. And from the other reivews, I can see that she's been there for a while and is rude to everyone.

Our vision is of a beautiful, restored, and accessible coastline, ocean and San Francisco Bay Area. The Coastal Conservancy is a state agency, established in 1976, to protect and improve natural lands and waterways, to help people get to and enjoy the outdoors, and to sustain local economies along California's coast. The Conservancy is a non-regulatory agency that supports projects to protect coastal resources and increase opportunities for the public to enjoy the coast. The Conservancy implements statewide resource plans through its projects, including the California Water Action Plan, the Wildlife Action Plan, and many others. The Conservancy works along the entire length of California's coast and within the watersheds of rivers and streams that extend inland from the coast. The Coastal Conservancy also works throughout the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area and the entire Santa Ana River watershed. The Conservancy provides technical assistance and grant funding to local communities, nonprofit organizations, other government agencies, businesses, and private landowners to implement multi-benefit projects that: protect the natural and scenic beauty of the coast enhance wildlife habitat help the public to get to and enjoy beaches and parklands keep farmland and timberlands in production improve water quality revitalize working waterfronts prepare communities for the impacts of climate change The Conservancy has played a critical role in shaping California's coastal landscape as we know it today. Since its creation, the Conservancy has built hundreds of miles of trails and preserved hundreds of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat, coastal farmland, and scenic open space. Many of the most-loved scenic, natural, and recreational resources of the California coast and the San Francisco Bay Area have been protected by the work of the Conservancy and its many partners."...
