The Pismo Beach Pier, situated on 60 acres of beautiful beachfront, is a California landmark with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, the beach, the city, and the surrounding mountains. Stretching over 1,200 feet, it is the 16th longest pier in California. Cycling is permitted on the pier; however, you may want to park your bike, take a stroll and enjoy the view.

A gorgeous beach that is perfect for taking a mid ride break and perhaps even a dip on a warm summers day. Take care of the vehicles on the beach as they are permitted on it.

Pismo Beach is located south of San Luis Obispo. It stretches over 360 meters and is very popular with surfers. The immense wooden pontoon and the sign in large red letters are its distinctive feature. The beach is very popular and often crowded. Further south, you will find deserted stretches of beach, and others which are accessible to motorized vehicles and which I do not recommend. You will also find an absolutely incredible monarch butterfly sanctuary there.

The best time to visit is from November to April. We were lucky because professionals set up these mono-oculars to see the clusters of butterflies hiding within the rainbow trees.

Wide sandy beach, with a wooden elevated promenade on the south side, and a wooden pier jutting out into the bay.

Beautiful, shady park with many trees next to the camper pitches and with many ponds and swampy pools. A change on the otherwise rather bare coast.

Gorgeous beach with phenomenal sunsets. Unfortunately, it can be driven on by car, which is also used extensively.
