Arroyo Grande is a charming, walkable Central Coast town centered on a picturesque historic village with cafes, weekend farmers’ markets and easy access to beaches, dunes, hiking and cycling—ideal for a travel therapist who wants a relaxed, livable base for multi-week assignments. Its friendly, small-city vibe makes it easy to settle in while still discovering new restaurants, coffee shops and community events weekly.
Nearby San Luis Obispo (college hub with restaurants, nightlife and regional hospitals) and Paso Robles (wineries, dining and weekend events) are a short drive away, broadening entertainment and services.
