Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of the central coast of California! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things this area for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

A charming coastal town along California’s central coast, Pismo Beach has the great mix of laid-back vibes, beautiful beaches, and outdoor adventures. It's the perfect weekend getaway from LA, filled with wine, seafood, and beach views.
