Pismo Beach is a charming city located along the California Central Coast. It has a beautiful Mediterranean climate and acts as the “Clam Capital of the World.” The city was named after its population of Pismo clams which were once harvested with plows. Pismo Beach features an array of activities and attractions, including the iconic Pismo Pier and numerous beaches where visitors can enjoy various watersports, from surfing to kayaking. Clamming is still legal in Pismo Beach and there are plenty of delicious local seafood restaurants close by. In addition to stunning beachfront views, Pismo Beach also offers exciting events including the Clam Festival and Monarch butterfly migration in seasons. Whether you’re looking for recreational activities or just want to relax in the sun, Pismo Beach offers plenty of sunshine and unforgettable memories.

Pet-friendly: Yes, but must be on leash and well behaved.
