Los Alamos, CA
LOS ALAMOS | ancestral Chumash land
An up-and-coming spot just north of Los Olivos on the 101, Los Alamos has become a popular spot for weekend getaways from LA. A neat blend between LA style, ranch vibes and the slow and leisurely pace of the Central Coast make this small town a must-visit destination. More than anything, Los Alamos is beloved for its spectacular farm-to-table restaurant scene.
