Grover Beach is part of Pismo State Beach (all part of San Luis Obispo county) but a much smaller beach, compared to Pismo Beach. There's only a couple of hotels in Grover Beach so our best suggestion is to stay at a hotel in Pismo Beach and just be a few minutes drive away from it. Walking Entry to Grover Beach is almost like a secret. Grover Beach has a dunes portion where you drive on the beach with your vehicle (for a fee), or you can walk on the non-vehicle side and park (no fee) behind the restaurant where Grand Avenue ends.

Ride on the Sand Dunes on Pismo State Beach through the Grover Beach Entry

The best point to enter the sand dunes is off of Grand Avenue in Grover Beach. You will see a booth before you enter to pay your vehicle fee and then just park your car on the beach and have some beach fun! This is one of the few places where you can ride on the beach in all of California (if it's not the only one left). The great side to this is you can just climb back in your car when you're done beaching it without having to walk very far and unload many things. Plus, it's so beautiful to see the sand dunes. You'll feel like you're in a desert for just a bit, except you're at the beach. You can ride ATVs here. See beach pictures of Grover Beach.
