Los Osos is a very safe town in San Luis Obispo county. It is very family friendly. It has a beautiful place to walk called Sweet Springs Preserve that is a bird santuary and wood trails that go by the water. There are also trails in Los Osos Oaks park which have protected pygmie oaks.

Los Osos is a small, quiet, town very good for families and older folks. While there isn't a large number of things to do, it has many resources and a small, close-knit community that makes anyone feel at home there. It also neighbors two bigger towns for whatever else you might need.

Wonderful small town. I enjoy all the wonderful weather that it has. I currently work here and enjoy then locals and parents. I'm currently looking to live here myself and enjoy the days and the evenings.

There are plenty of things to do here if you are a nature nut, but if you are a person who enjoys a city like atmosphere I wouldn't recommend it.
