Central Coast

Central Coast Kids--Activities for children on CA's Central Coast.

From Fresno Local, Randal Moens:

"Hi!! I have a few suggestions when going to the Central Coast. There is a gift shop with a aquarium and place to feed the seals in Morro Bay by the Harbor. If one takes highway 41 from Morro Bay to Atascadero there are to places to stop. The first stop is a Avacado Farm with a little gift shop that sells fresh avacados. Very yummy!

Further down the road, closer to Atascadero, is a Pick Your Own Raspberry Farm. The man running the farm is very personal and will help each family member pick the finest raspberries around. His raspberry plants do not have thorns. Both of these events we go to everytime we visit the central coast. Before I forget, the Raspberry Farm is best visited in June. One other thing to see on the Central Coast is a Abalone Farm that is between Cayucos and Cambria. I called them up recently but tours are not given until June. I did not realize that such a farm existed there until recently. The Abalone Farm has their own web site. I do not know it but search Abalone Farm and you will find it. See Ya!!!

Here's the abalone site!
