Pismo beach is the best beach ever, my family has a condo there! It’s really nice and you have a walk access to downtown Pismo, which is sorta under construction right now. You can walk on the pier and see dolphins and whales! There is also a grate on the pier where you can throw in pennies and wish for stuff. I wished for a horse and now I have one! That’s cool right?!! My grandma and papa also have a beach house that is really nice it’s right by downtown too just a little further. You have to walk through a really cool tunnel to get there. There is also a park in Shell Beach called Dinosaur Caves Park. They recently updated it so its a lot better than it first was, but it was good at first too. Pismo beach is close to Shell Beach, Avila beach, Morro bay, San Luis Obispo, Cayucos, and a lot of other beaches if you live in Tulare its about a beautiful 2 hour drive, you can see Elk and Texas longhorns along the way. Lots of wildlife and mountains and hills!
Pismo beach has lots of rentals in it, and really big hotels, the newest one was built recently and is very modern and has a marbely look to it. The second one is also really nice and has a rooftop pool! I’m sure they’ll make more hotels in Pismo. There is also a R.V park for all year around if you don’t want to stay in a hotel. The beaches are really nice and have lots of space to walk and collect shells. If you’re up on the pier then you can watch the surfers surf or kids boogey boarding. I personally am scared of surfing but LOVE boogey boarding. My mom wants to teach me to surf one day. I enjoy walking up and down the beach looking for shells and cool rocks. My papa and I love to play Frisbee on the beach by the volleyball nets. And one last thing, the sunset! That is Pismo’s most prized possession. It is purple, pink, baby blue, golden yellow, rosy bluesy pink, it is the most beautiful thing ever! I hope you enjoy Pismo as much as I do!
Here are some things we like to do in Pismo in case you are going to visit soon:
- Find new lookout points over the ocean. Drive down the 101 and look for signs!
2. Go to Avila Valley Barn and get ice cream, fresh fruit, and feed the animals. I like to call it Ally Balley Sue, because that’s what I called it when I was a little kid.
3. Shop at thrift stores in Arroyo Grande, we call it treasure hunting and our favorite store is California Cool.
4. Downtown Pismo Beach bowling alley, it’s our favorite!
5. Visit the aquarium in Avila! Make sure its open before you go!
6. Walk down to the creek and see wildlife in Arroyo Grande, and by wildlife I mean Chickens!
7. You can visit the nearby California Missions… San Luis Obispo, La Purisima, and Santa Ynez
8. Take a long walk at Oso Flaco Lake which starts out in the forest and ends in a surprise that I won’t tell! I think it starts in Guadalupe. The end of the trail is the best part! And you walk over a long bridge over a lake, it’s so cool.
9. Camp/Drive out on the dunes.
10. Watch the breathtaking sunset from Boosinger Park. You can climb up on the rocks and look out over Pismo and it’s truly a lovely sight.
