Visit Oceano & Nipomo!

Oceano is an authentic California beach town at the edge of the largest dunes complex in the state. The Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is the only place in California where visitors may drive on the beach and enjoy the area’s diverse recreation opportunities, from ATV cruising to horseback riding to surf fishing. The historic Oceano Train Depot served as a classic Type 22 train depot until 1973, and is now a museum filled with railroad artifacts. View the Oceano Visitors Guide.

Nipomo is home to three world-class golf courses, the historic Dana Adobe home, flower-filled greenhouses, orchards laden with citrus and avocados, and fields of strawberries. As the first town in San Luis Obispo County for those traveling from Southern to Northern California on Highway 101, locals proudly proclaim “The Central Coast Starts Here!” Nipomo offers a quaint old town featuring the world-famous Jocko’s Steak House.
