Pismo Lighthouse Suites

Scene

Family- and pet-friendly hotel with beautiful views

Pismo Lighthouse Suites is a homey, nautically themed hotel with beautiful views of both the mountains and the ocean. Adirondack chairs on small patios and palm trees create a beachy vibe throughout the hotel grounds. Guests can take part in a variety of outdoor activities, including swimming, Ping-Pong, and volleyball. There's also a small mini-golf area. It’s a short walk to the long, sandy beach below. There’s no restaurant on-site, but the hotel serves a free continental breakfast in a cheery room with yellow walls and wainscoting. Guests can make their own waffles, choose from a variety of cereals, along with several types of juice and Seattle’s Best coffee. A covered wooden porch offers additional outdoor seating.

Quiet area in the bluffs above beach, across Highway 101

Pismo Lighthouse Suites is in the bluffs between Pismo Beach and the mountains, across from Highway 101. The area is quiet, and there are a few other hotels in the immediate vicinity. While the hotel offers no direct beach access, the water and sand are within a short walk. It’s less than a five-minute drive to Pismo Pier, where people come to fish, surf, and take in the pretty views.
