Pismo Beach calls itself the Clam Capital of the World, and some know it as Bugs Bunnys elusive destination. Fortunately, you can just drive there instead of getting lost in tunnels underground. You cant miss Pismo Beach from route 101 or Pacific Coast Highway. Aside from resort hotels, there are many little motels and inns that are less expensive. Look for cheaper lodging in nearby Shell Beach, an unsung neighbor with its own charm. You can while away an entire day just strolling down Pomeroy Avenue toward the pier, shopping, drinking, and dining, and catching live music.
