I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year! I am really excited about all the fun things and new memories that we are going to have this year in Avila Beach, California. Last year was a really busy year for all of us here at AvilaBeachPier.com. We took on a lot more responsibility and did our best to make Avila a better place for everyone. The only thing I regret not doing was not organizing more beach cleanup days. A mistake I plan to change in 2012. I am thinking a small team of dedicated locals the meet up and clean the beaches and around town. I am sure I could convince a few of the restaurants to buy lunch for the group. If anyone or any business would like to help with beach cleanup days please feel free to email me at Jay@avilabeachpier.com.
Avila Beach went through some changes this past year and now has a handful of new businesses.
This Little Fishy (Children’s Beach Boutique) – This store has recently opened in the new landing shopping center and has already become my new favorite store for stuff for my one year old daughter. You will find lots of cute clothing, footwear, toys, gifts, beach necessities for children up to 12 years old. This Little Fishy on Facebook - Pic
Del Sol – This place is a perfect fit in Avila Beach considering that we get the most sun of all the Central Coast beaches. You will find clothing, nail polish, hats, jewelry, hair clips, sunglasses, etc that all comes alive and change color in the sun! Del Sol on Facebook - Pic
Cuvee Champagne Bar & Restaurant – This place sure knows how to appreciate the finer things in life. They have only be in Avila a short time but are already a favorite of the locals. Don’t miss their bottomless mimosas on Sundays! Cuvee on Facebook
