Learn more about Pismo Beach

Beneath the iconic pier, surfers carve through waves while beachcombers hunt for the famous Pismo clam that gave this laid-back town its name. Rent an quad bike to thunder across sprawling dunes, or explore tide pools teeming with starfish and sea anemones. The Monarch Butterfly Grove transforms into a fluttering orange spectacle each winter when thousands of delicate wings take refuge. After watching the sunset paint the Pacific, sample local seafood at oceanfront restaurants where clam chowder comes in sourdough bread bowls. For a perfect afternoon, grab a bottle from Sans Liege Wines and picnic at Pirates Cove, where the rugged coastline reveals hidden beaches accessible only to those willing to venture beyond the obvious.

"A total piece of Heaven. The trip was to get away for a few days to reset n breathe in the ocean air. The hotel was more than could have hoped for. The lobby is all glass with a spectacular view of the ocean as it sits on a high bluff. The room was a Premier Queen with an ocean view, and balcony n was absolutely divine with lots of fun extras. Several sitting areas with fire pits n again the views were breath taking. The pool n hot tub were excellent. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. They have a breakfast buffet n an “market” if quick treats are needed. Door dash delivers, so you don’t ever have to leave. Everything was so perfect an additional night was booked. The check in was flawless. This hotel will be our new family get away."
