Cayucos in California a gem on the central coast
Cayucos
a small town with an old western
charm
Traveling Pacific Coast Highway or the 1 as many call it, just past Morro Bay is
a quaint town named Cayucos which deserves a stop and look see. Or if you are
seeking for a perfect spot to spend the weekend with your better half, Cayucos
is the weekend getaway place you might have just found. Cayucos offers a bit
of everything, shopping, dining, bars, cafe’s and quite a bit of history. Cayucos
by-the-sea is as original as it gets, the Chumash would use the bay area for
fishing hence it was first named by the native Americans, Cayucos means
“kayak”. In 1867 the days of the Spanish land grand, Captain James Cass
settled and founded the town of Cayucos. His house still stands today and was
transformed into a Restaurant and Inn (more here). Yet there is more to discover as you will take
a stroll down Ocean Avenue, the main street.
Besides Hotels, Motels and Inn’s the Old Cayucos Tavern really reflects the “Good Old Days”
where seafarers and gamblers met up. You can find a few murals on some buildings which aren’t
exactly from a hundred years ago, but at least they give the impression. Although some of the
buildings along Ocean Avenue have survived the test of time and the architecture of many other
buildings was designed to keep the spirit of the town alive.
The Cayucos pier located on the northern side of the town, is one of the oldest piers to find
among the central coast, it is a completely wooden pier. Originally built by Captain Cass and
Captain Ingals, it still stands today.
