Here are a few more Pismo pics...
As you approach Pismo Coastal Village RV Park, there is a seasonal clam at the entrance. In the spring it becomes a Monarch Butterfly. At this time of year, a Turkey Clam greeted us -
The RV Park is in a great spot, right on the inlet, across the dunes from the beach, and a few blocks from the quaint beach town with its pier. The RV Park has a swimming pool, banquet room, small restaurant, a store, and a laundry.

 |
| sunsets on the pier are magical |
The pier attracts all sorts:
The views from the pier are spectacular -
 |
| view north to Avila |
 |
| view south towards Oceano Dunes (our RV Park is behind the trees) |
 |
| same view south along the 7-mile stretch beach |
Next door to the RV Park is the Pismo State RV Park, which we often walk through to get to the Monarch Grove.

there are a lot of tenters in the State Park, and we had a good
chuckle at this novel tent |
Just south of us is Grover Beach, which is accessible either by walking along the beach, or through the State Park which leads to another boardwalk across the dunes -

If you walk on the beach south of the State Park, you will run into traffic. That area is considered a roadway. We see many fifth wheels accessing this area, transporting their ATV's and wave runners. Over the weekends and holidays, this area tends to become rather active and noisy.
 |
the end of the "road" from this point on -
our RV Park is just north of the trees |
Besides vehicles along this stretch of beach, there is other "traffic" here too -
