Fishing and clamming are pretty popular in Pismo Beach too.

Lovely travel insight to the Pismo Beach. I am planning a vacation and read your post when searching for exotic beaches. Thanks for the share.
Being a beach bum all throughout college definitely makes me miss the sand in my toes and the sounds of the crashing waves. I’m definitely escaping my cubicle for some sun soon! Thanks for this post. Pismo is such a lovely place.
Not that much of a beach person. I don’t like the sweating under the sun and getting sand in places you don’t want sand in. But I’ve been to Pismo a while back. It’s a beautiful place.

Sun, sand, and the shore. Just what I need for an unforgettable vacation experience. Pismo Beach is already on my list for next year, thanks!
That’s a very paradise-like way to spend the holidays at Pismo beach. I hope I could still make last-minute reservations to the available resorts in there
There are some beautiful golf courses up there also down in Ventura county. I have traveled, playing and reviewing 25+ golf courses in the Los Angeles area.

Pismo beach is so beautiful. The golf course is gorgeous, and the fishing is amazing. We have sponsored some women’s golfers that have played Pismo in some locally ran competitions. Our golf skirts can also be found on golfers in the club house enjoying a martini.
Pismo is a great producer of Californias rich culture! The beautiful landscapes are breathtaking even after growing up in the area!
In my opinion Pismo Beach is underrated and deserves more love in the eyes of the public, or does it?(peace and quiet is always refreshing)
Thank you for this Article!

Dear Praveen Rajarao,
Thanks for the nice tips, Pismo Beach sounds like a fantastic destination! When we reached the section on the watersports activities, we said this is the perfect place to relax and have fun with a few friends (the wine history behind the Edna Valley kind of seduced us too)!
What is your favorite activity in Pismo Beach?
Have a great day!
