California Coastal Trail
Pismo Beach: The Central Coast's Recreation Destination
Season 1
Episode 24
If you ask San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Adam Hill what people in Pismo Beach like to do first thing when they get off work, his answer is simple: hit the trails. "This is the way that people get their exercise, unwind, and commune with nature," explains Hill, adding that residents continually request an expansion of the local trail system. The California Coastal Trail is a strong attraction in this charming coastal city, and with a healthy demand for building more segments, Pismo Beach is set to become a major destination for those yearning to experience some of the best outdoor recreation on the Central Coast.
