Pismo State Beach, California state beach in San Luis Obispo County, US.
Pismo State Beach stretches along 17 miles of Pacific coastline, featuring sandy shores, dunes, and diverse marine ecosystems near three coastal communities.
The Chumash indigenous people originally inhabited this coastal region, sustaining themselves through fishing and gathering shellfish from the abundant waters.
The beach hosts annual sandcastle competitions and seasonal festivals that bring together local communities for celebrations throughout the calendar year.
Visitors can access the beach through multiple entry points, including Grand Avenue in Grover Beach and Pier Avenue in Oceano for vehicle access.
Between November and February, thousands of monarch butterflies congregate in the eucalyptus grove adjacent to North Beach Campground during their migration.
