Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

On the colder side in March but who cares, your at the beach! The Pier was awesome! The sunset on the Pier was incredible and the views to die for!

We were there for a birthday. Had a great time until a wave took out the beach. Also got food poisoning at a local oyster restaurant. Pismo Beach was nice.

This has to be one of the worst places I’ve ever been to on planet Earth. All I can say is that it’s overcrowded, noisy, and so full of people it makes it difficult to hear or breathe. This was a massive disappointment to us and we only stayed for five minutes before leaving, I will never ever come back here ever again. Thank god we stayed a Mile away from this dump - it reminded me of Bognor Regis on a bad day

Beautiful place. Nice that it's free to walk on the pier. Some places charge these days. I liked the boardwalk area near it too. And the lighted Pismo Beach sign. It's a small town feel. And nice restaurants near it.

The view was amazing and peaceful not a lot of shopping spots which was nice it was all about the view. I saw a lot of otters and a sea lion swimming amongst the surfers. It was quiet. Both in the evening and in the morning.

Nice walk out on the big pier. Good to watch the sunset, surfers and just check out the waves in general. I love the live cam from 805 webcams it's a beautiful spot.

Pismo Pier is situated in the Pismo beach. We enjoyed the walking on the pier and viewing the scenery of Pacific Ocean on the western side.

This is basically a fishing pier, with several food truck stands during the day. Nice, easy stroll out over the ocean. Pay parking lot is very close by, but you can walk here from most any point in the central beach area.

It's all that you would expect when visiting a pier. The waves were spectacular! Due a storm the night before we couldn't walk on the pier but we walked the sand under the pier.
