If you've lived around the central coast any length of time, you likely remember the Unocal contamination at Avila Beach. It led to years of clean-up and redevelopment. It wasn't fun for business owners down there, but you can the reap the benefits of one of outcomes of that mess.
The next time you have a Friday evening free, you may want to consider checking it out. Because in the seven years it's existed, it's grown into good proof there's no place like home.
It's Happy Hour, family style. From 4 to 8 each Friday Evening come summertime, the Avila Beach Fish and Farmer's Market offers up something for just about everyone.
You'll find fresh farmer fare of all sorts here. And the shopping experience is part of the pleasure. 45 Vendors set up shop and are ready and willing to offer up answers to any questions you may have and samples that will likely keep you from wandering away.
Its much more than fruits and veggies. You can pick up flowers, enjoy dinner, soak up the sunshine and sweet salty air.
The backdrop of the market makes it pretty special. The view of the Pacific is spectacular. "Obviously the ocean, the scenery, and the entertainment the music, it's so nice to come each week and see the entertainment they have." says one of the people checking it out.
You'll find someone different providing the music backdrop each week. Whatever your definition of winding down is, you'll likely find it here....right in our own backyard.
