Ocean and Inland Adventure
23 miles of uncrowded shoreline ensure that whatever water activity you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Pismo Beach. Consider kayaking, kite surfing, boogie boarding, skim boarding, sport fishing, taking a ride in a cruiser, ATV, or in a biplane along the shore, exploring the tide pools or just indulging in a little rest and relaxation on the beach.

The finest, most extensive coastal dunes remaining in California, the Oceano Sand Dunes, are an amazing site, with 1,500 acres designated for beach and dune driving. Hummer tours of the dunes are available, and for individual fun, you can also rent and drive ATVs, dune buggies and beach cycles.

The warm sand of Pismo Beach is perfect for building sandcastles, playing Frisbee, flying kites and taking romantic walks. Pismo’s water temperatures range between about 51°F to 58°F, so wetsuits are recommended. Several surf shops near the ocean offer wetsuit rentals.

20 minutes south of Pismo Beach, off Highway 1, the Oso Flaco Lake Natural Area offers wildlife viewing along an easy one-mile level boardwalk that passes over the freshwater lake through wildflowers, dunes paintbrush and coastal scrub to a windswept beach.

For golfers, Blacklake Golf Resort and the Avila Beach Golf Resort are within a 10-minute drive. Pismo Beach even has its own nine-hole executive course at Pismo State Park.
