5 Ideas for the Perfect Central Coast Father’s Day

June 4, 2018

Father’s Day is quickly approaching and what better way to celebrate dad than with a beach holiday in Pismo Beach? With so many local activities, get out there and show dad some love to thank him for all he does.

Here are 5 ways to make this Father’s Day extra special.

1. Set sail.

Experience Pismo Beach a little differently this Father’s Day with a sailing trip. There are many sailing options to choose from including afternoon and evening trips as well as private charters and sealife sailing.

Want something a little faster? Head out on a power catamaran to see the marine wildlife of Pismo up close, including sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, and if you’re lucky, even late-season whales. Explore more sailing options at Central Coast Sailing.

2. Visit a local brewery.

Wine tasting might be a Central Coast staple, but we certainly have our share of craft breweries to shake things up. Raise a glass to dad this Father’s Day at a local brewery or taproom. Local favorites include Figueroa Mountain Brewing in Arroyo Grande, Pismo Brewing Company in Pismo Beach, and ManRock Brewing Company in Grover Beach.

3. Enjoy a day of golf.

Pismo Beach Golf Course is a local course with a phenomenal backdrop. Explore 9-hole course options here. Note that unlimited golf begins at 1pm!

Another nearby golf option, Avila Beach Golf Resort offers a premier golfing experience. Situated right next to the ocean, the course offers stunning coastal views to make for a golfing experience dad will love. Learn more here.

4. Take dad for a hike.

Pismo Beach and the surrounding areas offer so many incredible hiking options that there is a little something for everyone. With wild flowers in season, you’re in for an extra special treat no matter which hike you choose.

For one of the most beautiful hikes in the area, head out to San Luis Obispo to summit Bishop Peak.

Alternatively, check out Irish Hills Preserve, with possibilities to add onto it. A good addition is the Morro View trail, which adds on a couple miles and brings you to a beautiful vantage point to admire some of the morros that make San Luis Obispo so special.

For a milder option, head up Shell Beach Bluffs and Ontario Ridge, a 3-mile loop off Shell Beach.

5. Surf’s up!

Look no further than Pismo Beach Pier for a great place to surf. The south side of the pier tends to be better for surfing than the north side, with a good break at high tide.

Pismo Beach offers a treasure trove of exciting activities to show dad your love this Father’s Day. Whether it’s craft beer or heading up to the top of a morro for the views, make his special day one to remember with a trip to Pismo Beach. Plan your stay today.
