Los Osos

SPECTACULAR NATURAL BEAUTY
Situated with spectacular natural beauty on all sides.  Surrounded by thousands of acres of State Parks, nature preserves, historical sites, agricultural open space and State Reserves.  Los Osos/Baywood Park is far off the beaten track and offers numerous opportunities for those who love the outdoors.
Largely a bedroom community for San Luis Obispo, which is about 10 miles east.  There is a small business district concentrated in just a few blocks along Los Osos Valley Rd, and several shops servicing the Baywood section of Los Osos, near the bay.  The rest of the town is almost entirely residential.  The population is approximately 16,000.

Los Osos serves as the entrance to Montaña de Oro State Park. Los Osos Valley Road reaches the coast at the south end of Estero Bay and continues south into the state park. Morro Bay State Park borders the northeast of the town. South Bay Boulevard travels through the middle of the park after it leaves Los Osos.
