    Walk or bike...just enjoy

    Bob Jones Trail is a 5-mile round trip paved path that takes you from San Luis Obispo to the pristine coastal town of Avila Beach. The path follows the San Luis Obispo Creek and winds through the Avila Golf course.

    Short paved trail, through golf course and neighborhoods

    Easily accessible, fairly flat, paved trail (either from park and ride lot or at the end of Avila Beach from First Street). There are some uneven spots and a few uphill/downhill sections - notably in the golf course area, but it's easy riding - definitely...More

    2 miles (each way) on nice paved nature path

    We entered the path at one beach end (1st Street at Avila Beach) and walked the route to the parking lot where the majority of trail walkers/runners/bikers enter. Along the way, we passed the really nice Woodstone Market (in the Avila Beach condo complex) with...More

    Beautiful walk along the creek! Well maintained!

    This is a wide trail and in good condition for both bike riders and hikers. It is scenic and borders a creek. The ending point is the beach with lots of great options for lunch!

    Nice level walk

    We had a nice walk but it is a long one if you have to do the return trip. I’m no longer young, but I would say the walk/ride is easy.

    Nice walk from beach to Avila Farm House
