Once we booked the hotel, Brian and I started kicking around some ideas for kid-friendly activities in Pismo Beach, and well, we both really wanted to rent dune buggies and drive in the sand dunes. Plus, it included a complimentary breakfast buffet each day, which as anyone with kids knows, is a big deal.
While it definitely isn’t the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in, we chose it because it’s right on the beach next to the pier and close to all the little shops and restaurants along the water.
It’s way too cold to sleep in a tent in November, so we stayed in a hotel nearby, the Sandcastle Inn, just steps from the Pismo Beach Pier. In fact, it boasts the largest over-wintering colony of Monarch butterflies in the United States.īrian and I had been kicking around the idea of taking the kids on vacation to Pismo beach anyway, so when my in-laws told us they were going to join Brian’s aunt and uncle on their annual Pismo Beach Thanksgiving camping trip, we decided to join in the fun and go too!
The southern end of Pismo Beach runs alongside sand dunes, where vacationers flock to ride ATVs and dune buggies, and Eucalyptus trees are very prominent, which attract thousands of migrating monarch butterflies every November through February. Pismo State Beach offers all kinds of attractions like hiking, swimming, surf fishing, and digging for the famous Pismo clam.
