Arroyo Grande is super close to San Luis Obispo (SLO) and Pismo Beach!

Pismo Beach is AMAZING! And it is only about 5–10 minutes away (about 5 miles). Perfect for a quick beach trip, enjoying the famous clam chowder at Splash Café, or taking a sunset stroll on the pier.

The Beach & Pier – Classic California vibes with soft sand, great waves, and a fun pier for strolling or fishing.

ATV Riding at Oceano Dunes – One of the only places in California where you can drive off-road vehicles right on the sand! :))

San Luis Obispo is around 15–20 minutes away (about 15 miles). It's a fun college town with great restaurants, wine bars, and the famous Thursday night Farmers’ Market if you're there on the right day. They shut down Higuera Street for live music, BBQ, fresh produce, and a lively street fair vibe.

But if you're up for a little adventure, Bishop Peak is the most iconic hike in the area. The views from the top are chef’s kiss—you can see the whole city and even out to the ocean on a clear day!
