Port San Luis Harbor District is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) from businesses, organizations, or individuals that wish to conduct commercial or non-profit activities on District property.
The District manages pier and beach operations in Avila Beach, California. The District issues annual licenses to a certain number of vendors or concessionaires to operate businesses on District property. Licenses are only issued for movable vendors. A movable vendor is defined as:
“Concessionaires selling or renting beach gear (e.g., suntan lotion, beach chairs) or providing services (e.g., event planners, instructors) or other products from portable stands, carts, or other facilities that are removed from the site after business hours. A movable vendor does not have real property rights.”
For 2026, the licenses will be valid from January 1 to December 31, 2026. The accepted licenses may be extended on an annual basis upon approval of the District’s Harbor Commission.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant coastal community and serve thousands of visitors each year.
