Located in the center of the City of Pismo Beach, the northern end of Pismo State Beach gives way to a bustling beach area centered around the iconic Pismo Beach Pier. The southern areas of the beach provide access to the North Beach Campground area where Pismo Creek forms a lagoon while in the north of the beach are volleyball courts, several rock formations, and another beach area (which is also accessible via Wilmar Stairs). The beach is the starting point of a massive stretch of a continuous sandy area that spans several miles and ends in the City of Guadalupe, California.

If you're looking for a restaurant, simply head to Wooly’s Beach Bar And Grill which is located near the pier area and offers a great beachside dining experience complete with delectable clam chowder and tasty burgers along with a selection of beers. You can also head to El Mirador, a vibrant family-friendly Mexican restaurant that is close to the beach which serves great chicken and carne asada tacos. Another option for dining is Mo’s Smokehouse BBQ located a short walk away and is a high-end steakhouse famous for its barbecue ribs and tri-tip sandwiches.

If you are looking for a hotel near Pismo Beach - City Beach, there are several great options. You can head to Vespera On Ocean, Autograph Collection which is a deluxe accommodation situated nearby and has elegant rooms along with amenities like an onsite pool, fire pit, an in-house bar, and a gym. For a more affordable option, head to Agrarian Hotel, BW Signature Collection which is a short drive away from the beach and is a 3-Star hotel set in the countryside and exuding a rustic vibe. Aloha Inn, also located close by, is a budget-friendly option offering great rooms at modest prices.

The beach area has a variety of amenities including restrooms, showers, lifeguards, concession stands, and sitting areas, and allows pets on a leash (only on the beach area, not on the pier).

The beach offers a number of activities to visitors including surfing, snorkeling, sunbathing, kiteboarding, bodyboarding, canoeing, kayaking, wildlife watching, fishing, boating (non - motor), horseback riding, volleyball, paddleboarding, clam-digging, and beachcombing. You can also surf and kiteboard near the waters under favorable conditions. You can dig at the beach for the famous Pismo clams – however, be sure to follow the local regulations while doing so. The beach area is a regular haunt for wildlife enthusiasts as the 1,000-feet long pier offers an alluring view of the migrating humpback whales. Moreover, the lagoon near the North Beach Campground area is a perfect spot for bird watching and wildlife photography while also featuring a campground and walking trails. The city of Pismo Beach, known as "the clam capital of the world," hosts an annual three-day Clam Festival which sees clam digging contests, clam bake-offs, and surf contests being organized all over the beach and the adjoining areas.
