Locally Owned Shops Worth Visiting in SLO County

If you want to support the heart of SLO County, shop small.

One of the things that makes this region special isn’t just the coastline or the wineries, it’s the locally owned shops that keep our downtowns vibrant.

Here are a few boutiques worth walking into.

1. Downtown SLO Independent Shops

From curated home goods to handmade jewelry and locally designed clothing, downtown SLO is packed with independently owned retailers that keep the city creative.

2. Paso Robles Downtown Boutiques

Paso’s historic square is filled with stylish boutiques offering everything from farmhouse décor to elevated wine-country fashion.

3. Arroyo Grande Village Shops

The Village is pure small-town charm, antique stores, gift shops, and locally crafted goods all within walking distance.

4. Cambria East & West Village

Art galleries, coastal décor, and handcrafted pieces make Cambria one of the most artistic retail experiences in the county.

5. Pismo & Shell Beach Surf + Lifestyle Shops

Local surf shops and beach-inspired boutiques reflect the relaxed Central Coast vibe.

When you shop local, you’re:

• Supporting families

• Keeping downtowns alive

• Funding community events

• Investing back into your own town

And that’s something Amazon just can’t compete with.
