Review:
No visit to Pismo State Beach is complete without a visit and day-long exploration of the magnificent 17-mile-long Pismo State Beach along and its lovely dunes. Swimming and sun bathing aren’t the only activities to enjoy here either. This state beach is also one of the most popular spots in California to hang ten and catch waves. Home to the famous Pismo clam, shellfish hunters and fishermen will also enjoy an afternoon here while those in search for more land-based recreational activities can go camping and hiking. Pismo State Beach is also home to the Monarch Butterfly Grove (see above), and great bird watching opportunities with endemic birds like the great blue heron, the Nuttall’s woodpecker, the brown pelican and the ivory gull.
