Central Coast Visit - Shell Beach Farmers Market, Yummy Pismo Beach and Guadalupe Dunes, CA

(June 28, 2008) On the road in and around AND 3 hours away! Central Coast a good drive, and worth it too! Day at the beach discovering new people and new foods! Pismo Beach and the ever delightful Shell Beach. Area Event for this area can be found at http://www.classiccalifornia.com/calendar.htm
We took in the Shell Beach Farmers Market. Area goodies and great music as well as great views of the bluffs - no foolin'. LOL!
Met and chatted with the local organization that is promoting the Shell Beach Improvement Projects http://www.sbig.org/ and a local business woman who bridges the world with crafts from around the world. http://slovillages.com/
As the day went on we took ourselves to the local outlet malls and then on to the main drag of Pismo Beach! What a great time!
We took in the beautiful beach and local snacks... HotLix of Pismo Beach, CA http://www.hotlix.com/ is a word... AWESOME. Nostalgic candy as well as chocolate covered WORMS and White Chocolate covered CRICKETS. Truth be told: The worms were fantastic. I asked to purchase a quarter pound, so I could munch on them while walking around. She looked at me as if I was crazy, as they don't sell them THAT way! And the crickets? The white chocolate was very good - and if you don't mind having cricket-parts in your teeth for a bit, then I would HIGHLY recommend the experience. I also learned something very valuable... when travelling in the woods simply be sure to pack a block of chocolate, it makes those creepy-crawlies MUCH easier to eat!
That night we took in Santa Maria, CA and went to BBQ-LAND, BBQ-LAND, BBQ-LAND! Phone (805) 346-8537 A good inexpensive bbq place with ample portions - yeehah!
The next day we checked into the Guadalupe Dunes. You drive straight out, to where seems as if you are just going to fall off the earth! Surprising I had more cell phone bars than I do at my own house! We truly decompressed as we walked along the awe-inspring coast line. What a wonderful weekend getaway! 10 miles from San Luis Obispo, 144 miles from Bakersfield and about 188 miles from Los Angeles! Add this area for your consideration for a weekend out of town, a 3rd party destination for your family holiday - or perhaps a second home.
Let me know! Take the time to check out sights, sounds and tastes of the world around you! Enjoy and Have a great day!
