About Us

Parking area with RVs near Oceano Elks Lodge. — Oceano Elks Lodge #2504
Parking area with RVs near Oceano Elks Lodge.

A short walk from the Pacific, Oceano Elks Lodge #2504 sits on Air Park Drive with the kind of location most lodges only dream about. Mornings here smell like salt air. Evenings end with sunsets that stop conversations mid-sentence. The 169 members and guests who've rated this place 4.6 out of 5 stars aren't rating a building. They're rating a feeling.

The cook-your-own steak dinner is the stuff of local legend, a ritual that draws regulars back week after week. You pick your cut, fire it to your liking, and eat it surrounded by people who actually know your name. It's the kind of meal that doesn't need a fancy menu to be memorable. It just needs good beef and good company, and this lodge delivers both.

Founded under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 2504 carries on the organization's century-old mission of charity, community, and camaraderie. But here on the Central Coast of California, that mission gets its own flavor. Walks on the beach, fresh ocean air, and a clubhouse that feels like your favorite uncle's living room. If you've been looking for your happy place, more than a few visitors say they already found it here.

What We Offer

Lodge 2504 offers members and sponsored guests a full calendar of events, dining, and social gatherings. The signature cook-your-own steak dinner is the centerpiece, a hands-on dining experience where the grill is yours and the atmosphere is pure California casual. Check the lodge calendar for current dinner nights and special events.

Beyond the dinner table, the lodge hosts regular social events, charitable fundraisers, and community programs that reflect the Elks' national mission. Members gain access to the clubhouse facilities, a welcoming bar, and a community of like-minded neighbors who show up for each other. RV-friendly proximity to Oceano Dunes and the beach makes this a favorite stop for traveling Elks members passing through the Central Coast.

New to the Elks? Lodge 2504 welcomes prospective members to learn about joining the Order and what membership means locally. Community service is at the core, and the lodge actively supports veterans, youth programs, and local causes throughout San Luis Obispo County.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.
