Creator's Key Takeaways

Avila Beach may just be one of California's bestkept secrets. From the sea lions and seals frolicking in the surf to a hidden lighthouse to wine right by the sea.

Dinner was outstanding. Every dish was spot-on from the starters to dessert. The flavors, the presentation, the setting, it all came together perfectly.

If you're coming to Avila, make reservations, plan ahead, and definitely eat there. It was the star of the day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come to Avila Beach early in the day to secure a good parking spot.
Make reservations in advance for dining.
Arrive early to the lighthouse parking lot to ensure you don't miss the shuttle.
