“I was looking at a few paddle boarding places in LA, but then came across this one. SO glad I did! Not only is it a nice location with lots of sea life, but the staff was incredible. Every person we dealt with was kind, patient, and made it feel casual and fun. From the staff at the front desk, to the ones who got our equipment, the young guy who showed us the ropes, and the guys helping on the dock. Such a great experience!”

“Most amazing experience! Beyond words—We headed out early and got to enjoy the quiet peace of the morning. From seals, to sea lions, to a whole raft of otters and a wide variety of sea birds the amount of beautiful (and adorable) sea life we saw during our kayaking journey was astounding. The staff was also very kind and graciously showed us the basics of how to hold our paddles and also gave us a brief overview of the recommended route. Overall, 100/10 experience, we are hoping to go again one day soon!”

“We recently had the pleasure of renting kayaks for a large party from Avila Beach Paddlesports during a very busy holiday weekend, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! From start to finish, the service we received was top-notch.Alicia, in particular, was amazing. Her expertise, friendly demeanor, and ability to manage our large group efficiently made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Despite the holiday rush, she ensured that we had everything we needed and made us feel like valued customers. The equipment was in excellent condition, and the staff provided clear and helpful instructions. The location itself is beautiful, offering stunning views and calm waters perfect for both beginners and experienced kayakers. We appreciated the attention to detail and the staff’s commitment to safety, making our adventure both fun and secure.Overall, our experience with Avila Beach Paddlesports was outstanding. Alicia and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable day on the water. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great kayaking experience on the Central Coast. We can’t wait to return!”

“We love renting from Avila Beach Paddlesports, we’ve done it several times. They are so helpful, friendly with great equipment. The area is beautiful and the lighthouse makes for a fun destination. Highly recommend!”
