Avila Beach sits perfectly in the Port San Luis Harbor and with mountains surrounding the town, that it creates a unique climate that pushes the fog out first on the Central Coast each morning. It's called the Avila bubble by the locals. On days where other local beaches (Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, and Shell Beach) are fogged in, you have a good chance that it's nice in Avila. On those days you can sit and enjoy the sun while seeing the giant fog wall surrounding the town a few miles out in the ocean. Our climate also helps enjoy our beautiful beach town during the winter.
