Cayucos, Beach town in San Luis Obispo County, United States.
Located along California's central coast, Cayucos features sandy beaches, historic buildings, and a central street lined with local businesses and restaurants.
The development of Cayucos began in the 1860s as a shipping point for agricultural products, with Captain James Cass establishing essential maritime infrastructure.
The Cayucos Sea Glass Festival brings residents together annually to celebrate the natural treasures found along the Pacific shoreline through art and crafts.
