Looking for a getaway with sand and sun? How about a glamping cottage at Pacific Dunes Ranch with access to the fabulous sand dunes as well as all the fun things to do in the area?

1. Pismo Preserve: At over 800 acres, this beautiful nature preserve is the place to go for outdoor adventures. There is roughly 11 miles of hiking to be found here on several trails that range from ¾ miles to over 5 miles in distance. Expect lovely coastal hikes with beautiful ocean views.
2. Hearst Castle: Believe us when we tell you this is worth the roughly 50+ mile road trip (plus you can’t beat the scenery along the way!) There are several ways to tour this magnificent estate built for publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst. From the spectacular indoor and outdoor pools, the lush gardens and room upon room of splendidly appointed furnishing, art and antiques, Heart Castle is a real treasure.

3. Oceano Dunes Natural Preserve: From the soaring dunes to the amazing sunsets, don’t miss this attraction. Fish, swim, walk the beach or just marvel at the amazing sand dune found here.
4. Pismo Beach Boardwalk: Who doesn’t love a boardwalk? The original pier was built in 1881 and has been rebuilt several times since, yet has maintained its attraction through the years. Great shops and eateries, fishing opportunities and of course great views of the ocean are the draws here!

5. The Performing Arts Center in San Luis Obispo: After all the touring and time outside, you might be in the mood to sit back and catch a show. No matter which performing art is your forte, there’s an upcoming show you’d love at this state-of-the-art performing center. And if you’re the dinner and a show type, be sure to check out the pre-show dinner options onsite! Head to https://www.pacslo.org/ to plan your visit.
