One of my favorite spots on the coast. Miles of ocean front and miles of trails to explore. Cheap camping and all around great place

Montana de Oro is one of the most beautiful beaches to visit. It's usually very quiet with these than 20 people on it at most. The shore is all kinds of small rocks rather than sand. I wouldn't say its too great for water play because the water is usually pretty cold but it sure is beautiful. There is a pit tiolet and small parking lot as well as 1 or 2 picnic tables. They also offer a few disabled parking spaces. There are many miles of walking trails in the surrounding cliffs and even nice campground. The tree lined drive is an easy 10 or 15 minute ride from nearby Los Osos.

One of the best hikes in US. Great hidden gem! Do the bluff trail and feel like I’m a world away. Great to bring friends & family ✨🤍

We were visiting Los Osos before Thanksgiving and visited this State Park for the first time. It is a picturesque state park. We hiked the bluff trail which is an easy trail. The views were spectacular.

Try the Spooner beach and Bluff trails. Very nice view and the surrounding is quite, the only sound is the sound of water wave touch the rocks…. the sound of sea… and the sky is blue… the air is fresh… Short walking trail (0.3-2 mile) but worthy. Quite a few benches/wooden seats along the trails. We got the driving instructions (from San Luis Obispo downtown to Bluff Trail), from the car’s GPS and the Google map… My car’s GPS shows less than half hour driving, and the Google map shows about 1.5 hours driving. Surprisingly, my car’s GPS is correct.

Such a beautiful park with stunning trails overlooking dramatic cliffs and the ocean. Every path offers breathtaking coastal views — peaceful, scenic, and absolutely worth the visit. Best of all, it’s free!

We hiked the Bluff Trail and got the most striking views of the coastline and wildlife. Easy level hike good for an hour or longer on the outer loop. Even an outhouse for those weak of ..... Pathways are well maintained. Parking limited so go earlier. Central Coast beauty at its best!

Camping at the EV 2 site was so awesome and quiet.. The hosts are so wonderful and the beach wasn't crowded, but that's likely because it has more rocks and isn't just sand. There's no payment for parking and the port a potty at the EV site was clean.

I just love this part of the Central Coast! Realize that this is dry camping- no electrical, no flush toilets (pit), there are reservoirs of water to use, but not for dish washing. Loved the cool weather as an escape from Sacramento. Will definitely come back! Space 48 was a great ADA space for us.

Great place to visit and has some amazing spots to meditate and just soak up the soothing sounds of the beach. Recommend going in the morning if you'd like to check out the beach before the crowds get there.

This park has fantastic views, hiking trails and easy access to beaches where you can view a variety of marine life. We also enjoyed watching the surfers. Easy commute up to Morro Bay (less than 20 minutes away). Great way to combine some outdoor activities with a nice meal and some strolling around a cute seaside town.

Great hike out on the coast trail. Nicely maintained paths. Beautiful!

Love the blue color of the water, and how a quick walk will get you to where you're surrounded by nature. I will say hiking up the dunes for 3 minutes is worse than a full gym session. Humbling. Bonus: there is a beach area with tide pools that is dog friendly!

Our timing for low tide was off, so we missed the tide pools. Still a beautiful location to visit and enjoy the beach. Ample parking and clean restrooms if needed. Word to the wise, bring extra TP. Also, cell service is pretty much non-existent there, so plan accordingly.

One of my favorite places. The drive has eucalyptus trees along the road, and it smells amazing (roll your windows down). Beautiful views and along the beach during low tide there are amazing tide pools. 😊 There were even a couple of happy friendly surfers that let us take their picture. We stopped Mid October so the beach was not busy at all. There were nice restrooms right near the parking lot. A couple of picnic tables on premises. Highly recommend.
