There are so many things to do in Pismo Beach. The weather is fantastic—chilly enough for a light jacket but warm enough to enjoy the outdoors. Pismo also has many ways to enjoy the natural habitat in the area.

For the winter season, you can enjoy the wineries and the beach, and get ready to experience many holiday events. 

December In Pismo Beach

Pismo Beach is a beautiful beach town in the central coastal area of California, surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful waters. With a vast number of wineries and beautiful weather year-round, Pismo Peach is a prime vacation spot. However, something that may be less known about the area is that, during the fall and winter seasons, they have many festivals and events! There are several things to do in Pismo Beach with family during the holiday season. With the wonderful weather, it’s an amazing place to be able to enjoy some holiday activities outdoors. 

In December, Pismo Beach’s high temperatures typically do not rise above the 66-degree mark and hardly ever fall below 54 degrees. This makes for fabulous outdoor weather and a great time of the year to take advantage of some of the many Pismo Beach events that are taking place.
