Food scene
Giuseppe's has all the things: ambiance, incredible cuisine, fantastic cocktails, and wonderful service. If you're going for a meat dish, the lamb lollipops and the rib eye are five star dishes all the way. The salads are all equally delightful and you can never go wrong with any of the pizzas.

Prepare to dress in layers
Our climate is reliable to always be changing so dress in layers. I always joke that SLO and surrounding are like a woman in menopause: you never know if you're going to have a hot flash or freeze to death so come prepared for both and always have a jacket handy.

It's whale season!
You've probably heard all the rage about cold plunging. I never could get aligned with the idea of sitting in an ice-filled bath. I also have not been in the cold Pacific Ocean in years. I got out of my comfort zone today with some friends and cold-plunged in the ocean and it was GLORIOUS. I highly recommend that you give it a try. The whales and otters were out and it was a truly life-energizing experience that won't disappoint. Pismo Beach was a great spot for the first experience. There are beach towels in the closet in the living room for your adventure:)
