Latest reviews on Port San Luis's beaches

Avila Beach
10 Ethan Davis

The final stretch of Highway 101 in SLO county leads to a picturesque beach with breathtaking sunsets. It's an ideal spot for family gatherings, and I have fond memories of spending countless hours here as a child. Recently, I returned to capture some drone footage and was delighted to find the beach deserted. It was as though I had the entire stretch of sand to myself, making for an unforgettable experience.

Pirates Cove Beach
2 Selin Yılmaz.

To be honest, I didn't feel secure when I visited the beach in the afternoon. We encountered two men hiding in the bushes, and another two men followed us to the cove and back, giving off a predatory vibe towards women. Additionally, there was graffiti on the cave walls and a lot of litter around, making the visit not worth it.

Olde Port Beach
8 Zara Zin

This is a fantastic spot to check out, perfect for a quick visit. The harbor could really make some profit by implementing $10/10 minute dog wash stations. There's plenty of water and sand for my furry friend to enjoy, and all the other dogs we encountered were friendly, along with their owners.

South Palisades beach
6 Liam Rendall

This place is perfect for taking a stroll. It offers multiple staircases leading down to a beautiful beach with an amazing view. However, there isn't much else to do here, as it appears to primarily serve as a spot for local residents to walk their dogs.

Shell Beach Preserve
10 Kaela Kethan.

The beach offers breathtaking views, particularly during sunsets, and boasts stunning caves. If you plan to descend the stairs, it's advisable to check the tide beforehand.

Vista Del Mar Beach
6 Landon Mercer

The beach is a small yet charming strip of sand and rocks that sits adjacent to a towering retaining wall and fortified cliffs. A set of concrete stairs leads down to the shore from the road. While there are kayaks at the ready for rental, it seems there is no one around to inquire about the process. This beach is better suited for a leisurely stroll along the shoreline or an adventurous exploration rather than a spot to lounge and soak up the sun.

The warmest month during the year in this area is September, with the air temperature rising up to 22.8°C and the water temperature up to 17°C. The coldest month is March, with the air temperature dropping down to 14.7°C and the water temperature down to 13.1°C.
