Set in midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Pismo Beach is a city famous for its blue waters, picturesque landscape, delightful wineries, breathtaking sunsets and distinctive pier. Adventurers enjoy water-based activities such as surfing, paddleboarding and fishing, while beach lovers opt for sunbathing, swimming and bird watching. October to February is a great season to visit due to the Pismo Beach Clam Festival. This event features a colourful parade, live music and lots of clams. At the same time, the city enjoys the beautiful scenery of migrating butterflies in Monarch Butterfly Grove. If you love the sight and sound of the ocean, then you will want to stay by the waters.
