SLO County evicts homeless from lot above Pirate’s Cove
May 14, 2021
By JOSH FRIEDMAN
As part of San Luis Obispo County’s effort to remake the area surrounding Pirate’s Cove, officials on Thursday evicted the homeless who had been living in an encampment at the parking lot above the popular beach.
In March, the SLO County Board of Supervisors decided to incorporate Cave Landing into the county parks systems. Cave Landing is the cliffside area that leads to Pirate’s Cove, which had traditionally been a nude beach and scene for counterculture in SLO County.
On Thursday, workers launched a cleanup of Cave Landing, which includes removing garbage and graffiti, as well as a redesign of the parking lot.
Happy campers Hipcamp is an app and website that allows property owners to rent out their land to campers. Check it out at hipcamp.com. Other camping options include SLO County facilities, which opened to all campers on Feb. 4. Check out the available sites at slocountyparks.com/camp. And Santa Barbara County parks camping information is available at countyofsb.org/parks/campingparks.sbc. Driving just a few miles out of Arroyo Grande and up to Branch Mill Organic Farm feels like entering a better, calmer world. A little produce stand greets you at the entry of the farm, where the midday sun peaks through the branches of lush oak and fruit trees, burning away the few remaining drops of morning dew. The smell of fresh-cut herbs and blooming flowers fills the air.
