Spyglass City Park
About
Spyglass City Park is a public ocean beach on the California coast, about a mile from Pismo Beach and part of the Spyglass Park unit. It's a simple, practical stop: there are restrooms on site, no fee to visit, and dogs are welcome. The weather here stays mild all year. Late summer and early fall are the most settled stretch, with typical averages from a nearby weather station showing highs around 71 to 73°F and only a day or two of rain a month from June through September, while winter brings highs near 65°F and about 10 wet days a month in January and February. For more to do close by, Grime Dog Wall offers climbing less than a mile away, and Shell Beach Bluff Trail, Spring to Spring Trail and Panhandle Trail are all within about two miles for a walk.
