This area is a delight to visit at any time, with a pleasant year-round climate. And the best way to start planning your trip is with a visit to one of the lodging websites. Many sites out there can connect you to a number of alternatives for Pismo Beach lodging. If you're looking for information on Pismo Beach hotels, you'll find it there. Or perhaps you'd like to rent one of the other Pismo Beach vacation rentals, like a condo or a house, to utilize as the base for your family vacation. You have a plethora of options from which to choose.

Perhaps you'll choose one of the Pismo Beach vacation rentals within steps of the beach so you can spend most of your days there. The soft white sand stretching along the Pacific shore is hard to resist. The year-round moderate temperatures and plenty of sunshine mean you're certain to have day after day of sun for your trip. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the rolling waves, letting the sun warm your face, and occasionally rousing yourself for a game of volleyball.

Surfing, kayaking and swimming are always popular options for the more active. Residents and visitors alike take advantage of the glorious views and fresh ocean breezes as they walk or jog here. Be sure to remain until the sun goes down, so you can catch a memorable wash of colors settling over the Pacific horizon. Then return to the comfort and convenience of your Pismo Beach lodging to refresh yourself for the evening.

Even if you're in one of the Pismo Beach hotels downtown, you can take a trolley to Pismo State Beach. There you can go clam digging for the local specialty--the Pismo clam; admire the "butterfly trees" that swarm with colorful Monarchs from October through February, since this is the home of the largest colony of overwintering Monarch butterflies in the U.S.; or take a hike around the ocean lagoon. Perhaps you'll visit the Pismo Beach Pier for some fishing. Or you can head south to the Oceano sand dunes, the most extensive coastal dunes in California, and rent an ATV to motor along the 5 1/2 miles of beach or take a Hummer dune tour.

Your lodging also situates within easy access to wonderful day trips. While in the area, plan to spend a day touring the incredible Hearst Castle, tucked away in the hills of San Simeon 50 minutes away. A number of wineries in the area offer tours as well.
