Riders board the trolley that runs hourly starting at 10 a.m. every weekend throughout the summer. Service ends at 8 p.m. on Saturdays and 5 p.m. on Sundays. Stops include Port San Luis, the Sea Life Center in Avila Beach, Avila Hot Springs Resort, near the Bob Jones Bike Path, the KOA campground, and the Avila Barn, and at all the resorts in Shell Beach and Pismo Beach. See www.slorta.org/avila for a full schedule and list of stop locations.
On Friday nights, the trolley is also ready to take you, your family and friends to enjoy the Avila Fish and Farmer’s Market in picture-perfect Avila Beach.

The Beach Trolley is operated by South County Area Transit (SCAT), which provides bus service seven days per week throughout the Five Cities area.

Today at 1:08 pm VAFB is scheduled to launch the largest rocket ever to take off from the West Coast. San Luis Obispo County should be able to view and feel the launch.
LOS ANGELES — Perched in the fog-covered hills of Lompoc sits a massive 23-story rocket ready to blast off from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The three-engine Delta IV Heavy rocket, the tallest ever to be launched from the base, will be carrying a top-secret spy satellite for the U.S. government capable of snapping pictures so detailed it can distinguish the make and model of an automobile thousands of miles below, analysts say.
As early as Thursday afternoon, the massive rocket will lift off from the base’s Space Launch Complex 6, leaving a thick white plume over the Pacific Ocean as it cuts across the afternoon sky. At 235 feet tall, it’s so large that base officials have studied whether the thunderous blastoff will shatter windows nearby.
“We got the word out to people, so they don’t think it’s an earthquake,” said Lt. Ann K. Blodzinski, an Air Force spokeswoman. “Even if you don’t see it, you’re definitely going to feel it. It’s significantly more powerful than our typical launches at Vandenberg.”
The Air Force has closed nearby locations, such as Jalama Beach County Park, as a precaution. But that won’t stop townspeople from coming out to see the show, said Lompoc Mayor John Linn. The base is the city’s largest employer.
“Everyone will be in their frontyards for this one,” he said. “Living here, you get used to launches. But this is different. This is the big kahuna.”

The Pismo Lighthouse Suites was honored this year to work with Cal Poly on their PolyHouse community project that helps to renovate the home of a local family. It was a pleasure to host the family during renovation. We also welcomed the Ride 2 Recovery bicycle group. This awesome group works with injured veterans to overcome obstacles through cycling. Our staff participated in EcoSLO’s Coastal Cleanup Day to help keep our beaches beautiful. In the fall, we became the first hotel on the Central Coast to join the Clean the World Soap Recycling program. Throughout the year, Pismo Lighthouse Suites also donates sheets to the U.S. Marine Corps to aid those in more troubled areas of the world like Afghanistan.
