How Long: 2 hours to a day
Pismo Beach is the quintessential California beach town and worth a few minutes' stop at the very least. For a quick trip, exit 101 at Beach Drive and park in downtown. Get a cup of the best clam chowder in town at the Splash Cafe or an order of fish and chips at Brad's or just grab a pastry at Old West Cinnamon Rolls.
If you have a little more time, take a walk on the beach and out onto the pier, or drive around to Oceano Dunes the only beach in California where you can drive your car right out onto the sand.
Pismo Beach is one of the of the best places along the coast for RVers to stop, with lots of campgrounds to choose from.
