Grover Beach is an outdoor lover’s dream that offers numerous recreational activities. It also offers dining, night life and a card room. The town rests between Pismo Beach, Oceano, and Arroyo Grande and covers a roughly two-mile area. The streets are named after popular beachside resorts, and the town features several parks for visitors to take in the great weather year round.
While it might be temporarily closed, visitors can usually drive along the beach in a car, truck or ATV,, or ride horses on the coastline. Grover Beach hosts the only train station for the beach cities and has a visitors center there at 180 Hwy. 1.
This is one of the most affordable beach towns for buying real estate.
