That’s a wrap! Our grant cycle is officially closed. Thanks for stopping by—keep an eye out for what’s next!

Dear Community Members,
Fall has arrived in Avila Beach, bringing cooler breezes, golden sunsets, and a renewed sense of community. As we transition into this beautiful season, we invite you to reflect, reconnect, and reengage with the people and places that make our town so special.
Here are a few ways to embrace the season and support our shared home:
  • Celebrate the outdoors. Fall is a perfect time to enjoy Avila’s trails, beaches, and parks. Whether you're hiking the Bob Jones Trail or strolling the pier, take in the crisp air and vibrant colors.
  • Support local events and businesses. Many of our local shops and restaurants are offering seasonal specials and hosting community gatherings. Your support helps keep Avila Beach thriving.
  • Stay safe and prepared. With shorter days and changing weather, be mindful of road conditions, dress in layers, and check in on neighbors who may need extra support.
  • Use extra caution at the roundabout. The new roundabout is now open, improving traffic flow to town. However, construction is still underway—please drive slowly, stay alert, and follow posted signs to ensure everyone’s safety.
  • Get involved. From volunteering to attending local meetings, your voice and energy matter. Explore the pages here to learn more about current initiatives and ways to make a difference.
Thank you for being part of the Avila Beach story. Your care, creativity, and commitment make this community shine—season after season.

Help Keep Avila Beach Clean!

There has been an increase in litter throughout our town with the recent influx of visitors. More trash receptacles have been installed, but it has been difficult for our service agencies to keep up with the sheer volume of garbage, mainly on the weekends.

Would you like to help keep Avila Beach clean by volunteering to pick up trash? Please contact us for supplies and more information.
