Pismo Beach has served as a seaside resort on California’s Central Coast since the early 20th century. Set on the Pacific Ocean between San Luis Obispo and the Santa Maria Valley, the city is defined by a broad sandy shoreline, coastal bluffs and the Pismo Creek estuary. The long Pismo Beach Pier is the town’s central landmark, extending from the promenade into the surf, while Dinosaur Caves Park occupies a bluff above Shell Beach. Pismo’s identity has long been tied to the Pismo clam, once an important local catch and still commemorated in the annual Clam Festival.
