Santa Margarita

Welcome to Santa Margarita

Until recently, Santa Margarita was a bedroom community in San Luis Obispo. Over the years it has become so much more and a destination in its own right. Its rustic elegance has attracted the best of what California has to offer in cuisine, craft beer, and wine tasting. Reminiscent of the old west, the downtown area is charming, with old-time buildings, shops, and restaurants. One of the few communities with a lake, Santa Margarita Lake is popular for shore fishing, kayaking, and boating. Another great outdoor experience in Santa Margarita is ziplining! Margarita Adventures’ zip lines let you soar over valleys, oaks, mountainsides, and vineyards. The thrilling tour includes six distinct ziplines that span more than 7,500 total feet!
