Pismo Beach, a classic beach town, is located on California’s famous central coast, halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles along Pacific Coast and 101 Highways. We offer long white beaches for taking a pleasant stroll or for just enjoying the spectacular views of the Pismo Beach sunset. Enjoy Pismo’s great weather and fabulous area wineries. Prefer a more active vacation? Central Coast Golfing, riding the dunes in a four-wheel ATV, horseback riding, surfing, body boarding, or fishing can all be part of a Pismo Beach vacation. Take a leisurely walk on our award-winning boardwalk adjacent to the Pismo Pier, or find deals on your favorite brands at the Pismo Beach Premium Outlets
Pismo Beach offers a variety of options in vacation rentals, from charming beach bungalows to opulent ocean bluff villas.
Choose from a selection of Dog Friendly hotels, vacation rentals, and RV parks. Pismo Beach has an accommodation for all sizes and shapes.
You don’t need to cross the globe to find breathtaking wonders. Step into the World of Pismo Beach and experience endless adventure packed into one perfect coastline. Check out our latest video to learn why.
As part of a long-term effort to improve travel along California’s Central Coast, construction is underway on Highway 101 through Pismo Beach. With a little planning, your time here remains just as effortless, memorable, and well worth the trip.
