Under the sun of California, Pismo Beach is a thing of wonder for surfers, beach lovers, and seafood enthusiasts. This picturesque city then referred to as the “Clam Capital of the World” sits in San Luis Obispo County and is situated between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Its famed Pismo Beach Clam Festival is an annual family-friendly event that treats visitors to live music, parades, and scrumptious clam chowder. If you fancy sampling Central Coast’s specialty wines, grab a bottle of red at Tastes of the Valleys wine bar. Outdoor enthusiasts can also go hiking at the 900.0-acre (364.2-hectare) Pismo Preserve, go on hikes, or rent an ATV to explore Oceano Dunes. Otherwise, you can just make the lapping sea your soundtrack as you swim or laze at the beach. For a restorative vacation experience, check out the top beachfront Airbnbs in Pismo Beach, California.
