Arroyo Grande

Ideal place for those who appreciate small-town charm with outdoor adventures.

Welcome to Arroyo Grande

Where quaint Victorian charm meets the laid-back allure of beach-focused ambiance.
 
Located in San Luis Obispo County, in the heart of California’s Central Coast, Arroyo Grande , is where the land of quaint Victorian charm meets the laid-back allure of a small town with a beach-focused ambiance. As you wander through the historic downtown, affectionately known as "The Village of AG," you'll be captivated by the Victorian architecture, and California’s last “swinging bridge,”the vibrant array of shops, casual eateries, and unique boutiques. It is also a place where the main street traffic stops, to allow the local beloved Village Roosters to cross the road.
 
Arroyo Grande extends from the AG Village to the borders of Oceano, Pismo Beach, and Nipomo, encompassing a diverse expanse of land encompassing a mix of residential ocean-view homes, horse ranches, orchards, vineyards, and organic farms where visitors can pick their own berries or purchase fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
 
The weather forecast is Mediterranean year-round, with January lows in the 40s and July highs averaging in the 70s. The region enjoys an average of 286 sunny days annually.
