Help the community of Oceano create a safer,  vehicle-free beach. Sign the petition below!

Establish a Vehicle-Free Beach in Oceano

We propose that the California Coastal Commission, the SLO County Board of Supervisors, the California State Parks, and the State Legislature come together and create a plan for a Vehicle-Free Beach for Oceano by December 2030.

Your entities bear a burden of responsibility to develop a solution for the problem created 44 years ago when Pier and Grand Avenues were designated as temporary access routes for vehicles to the beach and State Vehicle Recreation Area (SVRA).

Oceano deserves a Vehicle-Free Beach to correct the environmental and economic injustice the community has suffered for more than four decades. We propose a 2.2 mile Vehicle-Free Beach starting 3/10th of a mile North of Pier Avenue and ending 1.9 miles South of Pier Avenue at Pole 4 (boundary of the Oceano Dunes Preserve).

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Our local community appreciates your support and willingness to develop a Vehicle-Free Beach where families and visitors can safely recreate along the coast.

Sign the Petition to Create a Vehicle-Free Beach in Oceano, CA

Forty-four years ago the Coastal Commission and San Luis Obispo County designated Oceano’s beachfront as the sole route to the coastal dune complex offroading park. This turned the beach into a highway, depressing the local economy and limiting safe public access for beach activities.
Help establish a vehicle-free beach in Oceano by asking the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors, California State Parks, California Coastal Commission, and the State Legislature to take action!

The first step is to sign this petition to join other people and groups who support a vehicle-free beach because there is strength in numbers. After signing the petition, check out slo.surfrider.org for more ways to make a difference.
