Avila Beach Downwind Leave the western part of Avila Beach and head south into San Luis Bay, keeping west of Avila Pier. Two offshore turns lead southeast outside the Shell Beach shoreline, then east toward an offshore finish north of Pismo Pier. The finish shown here remains on the water; it is not a verified beach landing. This approximate 10 km line was digitised from a map image using the two physical pier heads as independent controls, not recorded with GPS. Confirm launch access, surf, tides, pier restrictions and landing arrangements locally. Not for navigation.
