Voted “the coolest small town in America” in 2009, Cayucos<\/span> by the Sea is a surprising gem of a town that appears like magic out of the misty fog. Cayucos<\/span> is truly an authentic California<\/span> beach town with a long stretch of white sandy beach, sun more often than fog, a free public fishing pier, an historic saloon, and a quaint old-fashioned main street<\/a>. Television personality Huell Howser<\/span>selected Cayucos<\/span> for an episode of his show, California’s<\/span> Gold, and filmed most of it strolling up the center of Ocean Avenue, marveling at its un-crowded yet ultra-desirable qualities.<\/p>\n

Unscathed by the big developers, the population of Cayucos<\/span> is about 3,000. Despite its small size, Cayucos<\/span> has an eating establishment to meet everyone’s palate, from a chowder house to five-star dining. You’ll also find fabulous antique stores, surf shops with handcrafted boards, and locally owned gift stores. For children, there are three play areas designed just for them including, picnic tables, barbecues, and a paid lifeguard during the summer. There’s even a fresh water swimming pool in the summer near Hardie Park and two lighted tennis courts, located a short walk away from the pier. Grownups looking for a bit of “spice” will find that “in spades” if you’ll forgive the pun, at The Old Cayucos Tavern, a historic bar with card-playing rooms, pool tables, dancing, and some of the best live music around.<\/p>\n
