There's always something happening in Atascadero!

Atascadero, California is the center of it all on the Central California Coast. Just minutes from the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of wineries, stately Hearst Castle and a host of other attractions, Atascadero also boasts its own array of end destinations and festivals.

Atascadero is one of the most visually beautiful cities on the Central California Coast. Rolling hills studded with groves of indigenous trees, a quaint lake park and architecturally impressive Colony Homes and public structures combine to create a truly unique and authentic community. See the awesome Veterans Memorial Tribute at the Atascadero Lake Complex. Visit the colorful and growing Charles Paddock Zoo (the only accredited zoo between San Jose and Santa Barbara). Immerse yourself in the fascinating Colony House Museum. Go hiking and biking along our meandering and pastoral lanes. Shop in the historic downtown Colony District and our many other retailing areas. Don't leave your clubs at home! The Chalk Mountain Golf Course is a championship facility you won't want to miss. Atascadero is the family-friendly, small-town experience you've been seeking; removed from the urban pace but close enough for frequent visits to re-charge your batteries and breathe in the fresh air and bask in the sunshine.
