Pismo Beach sits halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with a long sandy shore, famous pier, crashing surf and glorious Pacific sunsets making it a classic stop on a California road trip. Beyond the beach, you’ll find wineries, dune adventures, horse riding and the seasonal Monarch Butterfly Grove. Our pick of the bunch is Vespera on Ocean, which has the best beachfront setting, stylish coastal interiors, an ocean-view pool and hot tub, fire pits, balconies and a lively restaurant and bar.
