Pismo Beach calls itself Classic California, and with good reason. A five-minute drive from busy US 101 takes you to the quintessential California beach town, with a busy fishing pier, surfers in the water, salt water taffy and clam chowder for sale nearby. Just around the edge of the bay, you'll find Oceano Dunes, a large sand dune park where you can play all day.

Ready to Go? Use our Pismo Beach Planner and you'll be ready in no time.

Pismo Beach is Popular For: Family outings, romantic getaways, outdoor recreation, driving off-road vehicles on the sand dunes, beach camping, fishing and beach play
