Oh Christmas Tree. When walking on the Pismo Beach Pier during the winter holidays, there's a holiday tree that's so big & bright, you can see it from the air, as well.

Pismo Beach loves its celebrations, including the tree lighting. Known as the Classic California city on the Central Coast, traditions are part of the fiber of this popular beach destination.

In addition to Christmas, the pier is the spot for an event celebrating "Pumpkins on the Pier", and the Annual Clam Festival.

Pismo Beach Pier is a shining star on the Central Coast and just a hop-skip off the 101 Freeway. Be sure to give yourself time to stop by and look for the Christmas Tree. It is artificial, but it looks quite festive!
