Cal Poly is located on the northern edge of San Luis Obispo (a lively, beautiful mission city of about 45,119 midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and 10 miles from the ocean). San Luis Obispo boasts mild temperatures year round. So it's easy to enjoy almost any type of outdoor recreation on the Pacific beaches, coastal dunes and ridges, in forests and at nearby lakes.
