About Avila Beach

Tucked into a protected cove where thermal springs keep the ocean surprisingly warm, Avila Beach feels like California's best-kept secret. This crescent of golden sand backed by colorful beach houses delivers perfect swimming conditions year-round, while the historic Avila Beach Resort and nearby Sycamore Mineral Springs offer luxury escapes just steps from the shore. Whether you're sipping wine on the pier at sunset or soaking in natural hot springs under the stars, Avila wraps you in that magical Central Coast blend of laid-back luxury and natural wonder.
