Central Coast beach access on a budget
On California's Central Coast, Grover Beach is a laid-back oceanside town just south of the more touristy Pismo Beach, with a sleepier, more residential vibe and more area-affordable housing. “People living in Grover Beach get to enjoy the proximity to Pismo Beach without paying for the Pismo zip code,” says longtime resident Jennifer Mandulay, a Realtor with Blair Properties. “Your sand dollars go farther here.” Access to Highway 1 and Highway 101 makes it easy for professionals to commute to nearby employers, while highly rated schools are a draw for families. “I love living in Grover Beach because of the relaxed lifestyle, low crime rate and convenient location just 20 minutes from San Luis Obispo to the north and Santa Maria to the south,” Mandulay says. “Many homes in Grover Beach are easily walkable or bikeable to the sand and surf. It's rare to be able to live so close to the beach, and it's a daily joy I don't take for granted.”

Access to the popular Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area
Grover Beach is bordered by the Oceano Dunes Natural Preserve, a sandy stretch of coastline that sees far fewer tourists than Pismo Beach. The preserve includes California's only beach that allows vehicles, and the dunes here can also be explored on foot via a network of sandy trails. The public, 9-hole Pismo Beach Golf Course welcomes golfers to tee off just steps from the Pacific, while next door, thousands of monarchs cluster in the eucalyptus trees every year at Monarch Butterfly Grove. There are several community parks in town, all with playgrounds and various sports facilities. Ramona Garden Park hosts several popular community events, including the weekly summer concert series on Sundays, and the Stone Soup Music Festival, Food, & Street Fair in August.
Oceano is home to the famous Oceano Dunes.

A more affordable coastal option than neighboring Pismo Beach
At the start of 2025, Grover Beach's median home price was about $800,000. Though nearly twice the national median, this is lower than those in Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande and San Luis Obispo, which range from $1 million to $1.5 million.
Along the town's sidewalk-lined suburban streets, most homes are single-family and built throughout the 20th and 21st centuries; undeveloped lots are also for sale. Most properties are set across Highway 1 from the ocean, and the most expensive are either new or remodeled two-story homes that often have rooftop decks or balconies with ocean views. Condominiums, townhouses and manufactured homes can also be found, and some of the latter are on the ocean side of the highway.
Locals in Oceano have well-kept lawns and ranch-style homes.
Oceano has a few modern condo communities throughout the neighborhood.

A local commercial corridor on West Grand Avenue, plus retail shopping in nearby towns
Grover Beach doesn’t have a conventional downtown area, though it does have a small commercial district along the thoroughfare of West Grand Avenue. This corridor is lined with locally owned cafes, eateries and shops along with a handful of grocery and fast-food chains. Several streetscape improvement projects are underway to make this stretch more pedestrian and bicycle friendly with new sidewalks, crosswalks and bike lanes. A number of mixed-use developments are also currently under construction here, adding new commercial and residential space to this growing area.
Residents are just south of Pismo Beach Premium Outlets with dozens of popular retailers, and just a few miles west of the lively and walkable Village of Arroyo Grande with boutique shopping and popular local restaurants.
