Venues and Locations
This is a gorgeous beach with a direct
view of Morro Rock and an
unobstructed sunset.
The location is a 15 minute drive from
downtown San Luis Obispo, is very easy
to find and has good parking.
The beach is right below the parking lot,
is easily accessible, flat and is seldom
populated because it does not allow
dogs.
This is one of the best locations for a
beach wedding on the Central Coast.
North Shell Beach - Ebb Tide Park
|
I perform weddings in a wide variety of locations including wineries, beaches, public parks, restaurants, and private homes.
The central coast offers many excellent wedding locations in San Luis Obispo, Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Cambria
and Oceano.
Here are a few favorite beach locations. I also provide photos and maps for you and your guests.

Avila Beach is about fifteen minutes
from downtown San Luis Obispo.
It is easy to find, has ample parking
and is easily accessible.
The sun sets behind the mountain but
has a stunning semi-hidden beach that
is accessed when the tide is low.
Dogs are not allowed between 10 am
and 5 pm.
This location is a small community
park in a high-end residential area
that overlooks the cliffs.
It is located ten minutes from
downtown San Luis Obispo, just a few
blocks off of Hwy. 1 in North Shell
Beach. The parking is on the street.
Again, It is not a beach location but its
main feature is as a direct view of the
sunset with the crashing surf just over
the cliffs.
Ebb Tide Park is a small spot right on
the cliffs between Shell Beach and
Avila Beach. It has stunning views and
a peaceful spot for a wedding.
It is not a beach location but its main
feature is a direct view of the ocean
with the crashing surf just over the
cliffs right where the ceremony will
take place.
Small weddings are perfect here and
there is ample room for up to about
40 guests.
There is a small group of upscale
private homes on the other side of the
lawn, but still very private.
Dolphin Bay Hotel and Spa, Shell Beach
|
Dolphin Bay Hotel and Spa is the Central Coast's only five star hotel and the event staff, led by
Chris Ohara, is the best you will find.
The setting here is on gorgeous bluffs overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean
A full service event either indoor or outdoor, with a variety of options. Contact Chris Ohara for
more information.
You may have a wedding performed inside one of the spectacular oceanfront rooms. By staying
overnight you can have a private place for a smaller ceremony and have a wonderful
honeymoon suite. This is a great option if the weather is inclement and/or to combine expenses.
Beautiful and Expressive Ceremonies on California's Central Coast
Shelter Cove Beach is a small beach
located in Shell beach just south of
Dinosaur Caves Park.
Sheltered, it offers ocean and cliff
views and a small cave -like opening
which is awesome for photos.
The access is much less difficult that
the photos may imply, just lots of
steps down. If you have elderly or
physically challenged guests, they
may watch from the bridge above.
