Pismo Beach is a city in San Luis Obispo County, California, United States. The population was 8,551 at the 2000 census.

San Luis Obispo County is a county located along the Pacific Ocean in the Central Coast of the USA state of California, between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. As of 2000 its population was 246,681. The county seat is San Luis Obispo, with about 46,000 residents.

The county's distance from the large metro areas of San Francisco and Los Angeles has helped it to retain its rural character and reminders of old California abound. Commonly referred to as "the central coast", the area is more rural and agricultural than many other coastal regions in California. Father Junipero Serra founded the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in 1772 and the Mission is today an active part of downtown San Luis Obispo . The small size of the county's communities, scattered along the beaches, coastal hills, and mountains of the Santa Lucia range, provides a wide variety of coastal and inland hill ecologies to support many kinds of fishing, agriculture, and tourist activities.

San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) is located just south of the City of San Luis Obispo.
