Overview

Oceano Dunes SRVA is a one-of-a-kind destination in southern California. Oceano Dunes SRVA, also called Pismo Beach, is a place for making lasting memories. This is the only area in southern California where you can drive on the beach. If you want to step up the excitement level, head into the dunes for some adrenaline-pumping fun. Bring the toys to go kite surfing, sandcastle building, or having a picnic on the beach. Oceano Dunes SRVA is a must-visit offroad destination.
