When in Cambria, eat at Robin's. When in SLO, eat at Novo. Never go to Pismo Beach, it's just a shithole of a tourist town....absolutely nothing to see there. Although Price Canyon to 227 (backwards.... 227 to Price Canyon to 101) is a fun little jaunt if you ratchet up the speed. I use to go to Pismo about 10 years ago (and I still go there when visitors demand to check it out, then I just take them there and then force them back into the car to go to Avila). Unless you feel a need to help destroy the only strectch of beach left in CA that is open to vehicles, then don't bother. But like every tourist town, if you go on a weekday in the winter it's almost bearable.
BTW: To all you BARFer's travel down the coast into SLO or SB counties, I recommend a quick side trip to Solvang for the motorcycle museum there. It's open on weekends, but even on weekdays you can go to the shopping centers office and ask them to open it up for you and usually they will. The guy has a serious private collection, including a MV Agusta GP bike. Very rare due to the fact that most were destroyed so that the secrets would never be had by the compitition. Which I think was a completely stupid, ego driven decision that showed a distressing shortsightedness on the part of the owner. You would think pride and legacy would overcome ego and suspicion.
Fook me, I sound like a travel brochere.
worth the trip just for that. also, they have a '76 Honda 400-4SS on the floor.
