Montana de Oro
A slice of heaven!

Montana de Oro is located in Los Osos.  You drive through a winding road of fragrant eucalyptus trees and end up at a beautiful beach filled with beautiful rocks, Seagulls and a fresh water stream that feeds right into the Ocean.  If it has rained recently you will have the added benefits of a waterfall on the left hand side of the beach. 

If you happen to be a beach comber such as myself your in for a treat because this particular beach is laden with shells, ocean jade and agates.

This is a great place to have a picnic!  But do cover all of your food securely when you go for a walk because the seagulls there are very brave and always hungry!  So do bring a picnic basket and lock it up.  Once I didn't do this and a gull came right up and stole my $12 cheese!  A most decadent cheese from a deli in Shell Beach, oh well!
