Pismo Beach, Shell Beach & Oceano
Visit the Pismo Beach Pier Plaza
The Pismo Beach Pier Plaza is easy to find, just look for the seven-foot-tall bright letters spelling out Pismo Beach and a giant slide leading through the plaza floor to the beach.
The freestanding letters light up in different colors and the “P” features a ruler so kids of all ages can measure their height.
The slide is a feature of the nature-themed colorful Whale Surfing Playground that includes a Humpback whale creating waves as it breaches, the Clam slide and surfboards. The inspira- tion for the playground comes from the marine life, local nature and surfing culture around Pismo Beach.
Attractions include the three vintage Airstreams, housing the Pismo Beach visitor center and concessions featuring gourmet street food, local beers and wine and the Shell Beach Streetscape.
The sign, playground and other features are part of an extensive $7.5 million improvement project that also added improved parking, public restrooms, and ADA access to the beach.
