Is there on-site parking available? There is limited beachfront parking near the museum, but that usually fills up first thing in the morning. Your next parking option is the parking lot. It sits in the center of town and is controlled by the Port San Luis Harbor District. It's currently the only place in Avila that charges for parking. Parking rates are $6.00 for all day. Free parking is also available along the long stretch of main road that runs through Avila. Just keep in mind that it’s a few minutes walk to the beach. So, if you have a lot of stuff, you might drop it off with one of your party members first. Can we pack snacks or lunch for this event or field trip? Water bottles are permitted. There are picnic tables nearby for students who would like to bring lunch or a snack to eat after the event. *Heartland does not provide transportation for any of our field trips.
