Picture a classic California beach town—or just an ideal ocean town anywhere—with a sandy strand, a wooden pier, and waves dotted with surfers.
That's Pismo Beach. Located about midway between the Bay Area and sprawling Los Angeles, it lies tucked amid redwoods and rocky outcroppings on one of America's least developed stretches of coast.
In Pismo Beach you'll find wonderful accommodations, corporate meeting rooms and restaurants for every budget. Gorgeous weather, and 23 miles of uncrowded beaches. Sun, sand and sensational activities like surfing kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, golf, shopping and much more.

The State Park
Pismo State Beach offers a wide range of activities from swimming, surfing, sunbathing, fishing, bird watching, or hiking on its trails. Pismo is also the only beach in California where the sand is firm enough to drive vehicles on the beach. The park contains both areas of beach where cars are allowed, and areas where they are not.
