Pismo Beach, California

If you watched Looney Tunes as a kid, you may remember one particular animation in which Bugs Bunny popped his head through the ground and exclaimed to Daffy Duck, “Well, here we are! Pismo Beach and all the clams we can eat!” Yes, it’s true: Pismo Beach, California was once the self-proclaimed clam capital of the world. That was back in the ‘50s, though. It’s not as true anymore, as over-harvesting destroyed a lot of the clam population, though the city still uses a clam shell in a lot of its branding. Today an RV rental Pismo Beach CA is one of the best ways to explore the city!
 
Even though the clam thing isn’t happening as much these days, but Pismo Beach still has an awful lot going for it. If a beach getaway is your idea of a good time, then this is a fantastic West Coast spot. Located on the southern central coast, it’s a real beach town complete with the awesome Pismo Pier for strolls at sunset or anytime. There are gorgeous views, wineries and fine dining options, and lots of outdoor activity. Take a left turn at Albuquerque and check out these spots in an RV rental Pismo Beach!
