Pismo Preserve & Pismo Beach Hiking
Shore Cliff Hotel Is Your Gateway To The Pismo Preserve
At 880 acres, the Pismo Preserve offers truly exceptional and diverse recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors will enjoy over 11 miles of trail traversing serene oak woodlands and coastal ridgelines with stunning panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean stretching from the Irish Hills to Point Sal. Open daily from dawn- dusk. Trails may close when wet.
The latest features at the Pismo Preserve include a parking lot, restrooms, and paved trails. Bikers, equestrians, and hikers alike can each experience the entirety of the preservation thanks to the newly marked trails.
Located northeast of Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County, the Preserve is accessible just off the scenic Highway 101 and conveniently located across the highway from Pismo Lighthouse Suites and Shore Cliff Hotel. As the closest hotels to the trailhead, our guests will have the unique opportunity to access the Pismo Preserve at their doorstep.
