Thank you SLO Coast Kayaks/ Avila Beach Paddlesports! My mother and I went for a beautiful morning SUP in Avila today and sooo much fun!

SLO Coast Kayaks has 2 locations, one in town, and one at the Port. The rentals are very reasonable $20/Hour for a 2-person Kayak. Do not be afraid if you have never done this before.

My son and I kayaked Shell Beach in the cold fog, but we still had a wonderful time seeing the baby harbor seals and Dinosaur Caves thanks to Vince and Emily. It would be difficult to name a time when we have had better customer service or more fun. One can just tell how much Vince loves his job and... More

My wife and I took the Shell Beach Cave Adventure kayak tour this past weekend. The whole experience was amazing. Both my wife and I had never kayaked before, so this was all new to us.

We had the best time out in the kayaks! The nature sights were glorious! Vincent our guide was the best. We were first time kayakers and Vincent was encouraging us all the way. Even though we crashed a couple of times he never got mad or annoyed at us once. There's soo much sea life to see, starfish! Sea anemone!... More

If you stop by Central Coast California you have to have the Kayak experience. It is a blast and no matter if you are a beginer (like me) or a pro, it is a blast! Looking forward to do it again!
