There's an "unofficial" doggy beach between Morro Bay and Cayucos that we love to take our dogs to.
But Morro Bay is great for getting a bite to eat on the embarcadero, biking trails by the rock, and shopping.
Eat at Hofbrau for a killer French Dip sandwich.

We find that Avila can be warmer than the other beaches of the Central Coast-it's slightly more protected from wind. There's a beautiful golf course there and they've updated the water front with restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and shops.
