Nipomo
If you’re looking for peace and quiet amid natural beauty, Nipomo awaits. Peaceful, yes. Sedentary lifestyle? Probably not – there are three world-class golf resorts in the vicinity! You have your choice of Blacklake Golf Resort, Monarch Dunes Golf Club, or Cypress Ridge. But if you prefer other kinds of driving, you’re close to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area – the only California State Park that allows vehicles on the beach. No matter what activities you decide to pursue, take time to smell the flowers: Nipomo is home to a 92-acre flower market. Or get your history and cultural fixes at the Dana Adobe Cultural Center, where you can learn about California’s Rancho era and attend community events.
