Pismo Drifting Sand
This off road area is among the most popular and unique of California State
Parks. The 5 ½ miles of beach open for vehicle use and the sand dunes
available for off highway motor vehicle recreation are attractions for visitors
from throughout the United States.
Oceano Dunes is the only California State Park where vehicles may be driven on
the beach. Passenger cars can easily drive on the northern portion of the beach.
Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended for driving to the camping and off
highway vehicle use areas in the park.
Beach wheelchairs are available for loan at the Pier and Grand Avenue
entrances to the beach.
Surfing, swimming, surf fishing, horseback riding and bird watching are popular
activities.
Location/Directions
The recreation area is located in Oceano, three miles south of Pismo Beach off
Highway 1.
One mile south of the Pier Avenue beach ramp is Post 2, a post on the beach
which marks the beginning of the off-highway vehicle riding and camping area.
OHV's must be transported to this point before unloading. Any areas on the
beach or in the dunes that are fenced or signed are closed to vehicular use
because they either contain sensitive plant and animal life or are private
property.
