Santa Margarita

Tucked along Santa Margarita Creek in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, Santa Margarita is a place whose character is shaped by its creekside setting and long role on inland travel routes between San Luis Obispo and the Central Valley. The community developed as a stagecoach and railroad stop, and its small historic center still reflects that transportation heritage rather than the coastal rhythm of nearby county towns. Santa Margarita Lake lies northeast of town amid oak-dotted terrain typical of California's Central Coast.
