~Pismo Beach~

While staying at Pacific Dunes Ranch we spent a few days at Pismo Beach.   We parked the van at Grover Beach and then walked along this boardwalk.   You can walk the 2 1/2 km walk all the way to the Pismo Beach Pier.   We walked about 1/2 way on the boardwalk and then walked the rest of the way on the beach.

It was so beautiful!

We never get tired of being at the beach.   The birds, ever changing waves and beach, seaweed, shells etc.....are always new and exciting.

The beach was long and sandy and we enjoyed the nice walk.

We were surprised to see pelicans all over the pier.  They were obviously used to people as we were able to get up nice and close to them.

We walked through the cute, little town of Pismo Beach with its restaurants, souvenir shops, seafood bars, ice-cream shops etc.....

There were lots of sand dollars all over the beach.

In the afternoon we drove to Morro Bay.  It is a quaint, waterfront town near San Luis Obisbo.

The town is famous for "Morro Rock" - a 581 ft volcanic plug.

We loved the beach so much that we headed back to Grover Beach the next day.   We spent the day "hanging out".

We had never been to Pismo Beach before but we will be back for sure!!!
