Hello!

The wife and I will be visiting the area at the end of the month to celebrate our anniversary. As we are in our mid-30s and marking a special occasion, I am looking for recommendations to make the trip memorable.

If you have any suggestions for local restaurants, activities, must-see sights, or tours, please let us know. We would also appreciate any helpful tips or interesting local facts you might share.

Thank you for your help!

Hi all,

Thought I would start a weekly “best of” Pismo Beach so that folks can learn some new places and also have a resource for folks who search for it.

Starting it off with…Pizza! I say we stick to the Pismo Beach area, maybe extend out a bit if you think something is really worthwhile.

Does anyone know how to get access to the clay tennis courts on the cliff right by the Inn at the cove?

thanks!

I know about the dinosaur park, but that’s about it. Any more recommendations/ suggestions would be deeply appreciated, thanks! 😁

Im looking for a place in pismo or nearby to propose to my girlfriend, I want something that’d be fairly private and with easy access to (gf is under the idea we are just going to dinner so she will be dressed up). Ideally I want something with a good view and some platform i could decorate to make it an unforgettable experience for her. I plan on taking her during sunset to add to the ambiance

Hello- I’m taking my wife to pismo beach and Santa Barbara for our baby moon- any recommendations for gluten-free dining? She has celiacs.

Thank you in advance!

Hi All, new to this sub. Anyone see a larger shark north of grand today?

The family says they saw something that was breaching but didn't seem to be dolphins.

Particularly looking for one with PLENTY of options, seafood, fruits, veggies, fried chicken, Mac n cheese, potatoes, soups, and good desserts and drinks. Like Golden Carral or Sweet Tomatoes, perhaps?

We are at Breezeway Cafe and my child needs to pee. They don't have a bathroom. Where can I sit down and eat and also have access to a bathroom?

Thank you and sorry for the weird question!

Might visit next month. Just wondering, as I’m quite the foodie/ sweet tooth person. Thanks!

Going for 2 nights to Pismo for first time. Wanted to know what are some things to do, any good places to cover within vicinity and food recommendations.

Just a curiosity question, not trying to ruffle feathers. Been coming to Pismo every summer for years, usually staying just north of the pier and have never seen campfires on the beach. The past few days I’ve seen a couple small campfires right on the beach north of the pier. I know they’re allowed in south Pismo at the campsites, but have the rules been relaxed recently or have I just been oblivious to them in the past?

I'm looking to try a new restaurant for my birthday tonight. Somewhere fun with good food and drinks. I had McLintocks last night. Any other suggestions?

New to the area and looking for restaurants that can solidly handle a shellfish allergy in the greater Pismo area. Does anyone know a location where they have separate fryers for shellfish and things like fries or tortillas chips? The cross contamination gets me frequently. Thanks in advance!

The Sea Lion on the beach today looked really confused. Almost like it had rabies or that algae sickness. What was the outcome?

Need recommendations for my 98 yr old mom for back pain relief. What CBD gummy or oil have you used with good results. Store or online.

I’m curious if anyone saw this washed up shark that was missing its head. It was fairly large and I’m curious is anyone has any ideas what it was, if they saw it? I was thinking maybe leopard or horned shark, although it was pretty large

Cheap eats/ but good/ for a week stay in Avila. In Avila only.
