San Luis Obispo County
Location and general
This little town, right by the Pacific Ocean south of San Luis Obispo on the U.S. 101, stands out because of its 22mi/35km of beach, where several kinds of edible mussels can be dug up at any time of the year, and all kinds of water sports can be pursued.
Pismo Beach - the name comes from the language of the Chumash Indians and means "tar" - is also known for being (at the time of going to press) the last place close to the sea to allow cars to drive on ramps right on to the beach. Known for its extensive sand dunes, vehicles are prohibited in the Dunes reserve.
