About Pismo State Beach
A stretch of Pacific shoreline runs roughly 17 miles along the coast, fronting the towns of Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, and Oceano. The California Department of Parks and Recreation manages this length of sand, which spans three separate communities rather than sitting within a single town's boundary.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
