2025 Projects

Thank you to the Oceano Nipomo Tourism Board for the awarding VACO the grant that purchased a new handcrafted sign for the Historic Oceano Train Depot Museum. 

Sign Made and Installed by SouthPaw Signs. www.southpawsigns.com

New Community Bulletin Board and Triangle Park Sign!

Community members can contact VACO directly to have their community event flyers placed inside the community bulletin board. 

QR codes are located at the Community Bulletin Board which will allow the community the ability to stay connected with VACO and all things going on in Oceano and Halycon. 

Sign Made and Donated by Community Member.

• Information about Oceano and its history
• Recent newspaper clippings, current movies, special event flyers, ticket stubs

All items placed in the time capsule must be dry and non-perishable.

During our 10/10/23 Oceano Town Meeting Caltrans gave a presentation with conceptual designs from the 2022 community design meeting along with final designs for the Oceano Community Plaza Project at 17th Street & Beach Street at the Triangle Park in Downtown Oceano.  

Visit below to view the presentation and drawings. 

On Saturday 9.4.21 we rolled up our sleeves and got to work to help tame the unsightly weeds and overgrown shrubbery on the sidewalk, curb and adjoining vacant lot on the corner of 19th Street and Front Street/Hwy 1! If you're not familiar, it's between Chacho's and Quintessa Coffee Roasters. 

As one of the main corners into downtown Oceano, we hope that this will give our beautiful community a safer walking path and give a much better introduction into our main corridor, suggesting that people should slow down and take in our beautiful seaside scenery and smell that fresh ocean air!

Saturday was Part 1 of this exciting Project, stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon! 

Next time you're down by Front Street, take a look and let us know what you think!  Feel free to scroll through the images and take note of the Before and Afters!
