Catch a sunset at the Oceano Dunes

Driving on the beach is fun, and there are few places in California where you can legally do it. Just south of Pismo Beach you'll find Oceano Dunes. Pay the $4.00 entrance fee and drive your car right onto the beach. Keep an eye on tides and watch out for deep sand and sneaker waves! You won't be the only one. Lots of locals and tourists alike park their cars, bring out their camp chairs, and e...

Surf Shell Beach

Shell Beach is north of downtown Pismo Beach. This is a fun wave that works best during the fall and winter months. It's a beach break with both lefts and rights. The wave is rippable and is less popular than waves at the pier or at Morro Bay. However, the wave is much less consistent than the other 2 waves.

Catch the Sunset at the Avila Sea Caves

You don't really have to hike to get a nice view, you can park the car and walk out to the rock cliffs and watch. Other activities to do in this area -- hiking around and relaxing at the nude beach, Pirate'...

You can choose where you would like to start, across the street from the Central Coast Aquarium off Avila Beach Dr. or from the parking lot off Ontario Road. The paved trail traverses a rocky hillside covered in matured oaks, passes a vineyard and two p...
