Funky, dated and so authentic, you can take a breath of fresh air and be glad you discovered the real deal along the coast, just a few miles from the boutique wineries and cultural amenities. between Pismo Beach and Santa Maria.  Oceano, as the name indicates, does enjoy ocean frontage. The city is, in fact, home to one of the few remaining recreational vehicular beaches in California where you can drive ATV's (all terrain vehicles) along the shoreline and into the sand dunes.  Much of the surrounding streets and regional features take on the sandy, wind-blown appearance from the constant, thin veil of sand that's blown inland from the coastal winds. . You'll see agriculture, businesses and tourists when visiting the beach town which has gained a reputation for its wonderful weather and beach recreation.  Highlights of the small region on the ocean include Oceano Airport, a small craft airport near the beach and a cute Rock and Roll Diner made out of a train car which is decorated in the theme of the 1950s. The city is, in fact, home to one of the few remaining recreational vehicular beaches in California where you can drive ATV's (all terrain vehicles) along the shoreline and into the sand dunes.
