Sunset likes the laid-back vibe, local, independent wineries, and public art of San Luis Obispo (SLO). From a dog-parent’s perspective, this buzzy college town dishes up tasty outdoor dining options, breweries, boutiques and hotels that welcome four-legged friends, and hikes leading to pup-friendly beaches with off-leash areas.
