    "People aren’t respectful about keeping distance when you’re walking their dog and you’re walking yours. I personally will walk up a driveway or cross to the other side of the street with my dog to be safe. Others just kinda walk up on you out of no where. Many don’t clean up after their dogs. Tourists are everywhere with their dogs often blocking sidewalks and not moving for long periods of time. "

    "We drove in from Los Angeles. So we originally used valet to park our car once we got here. Once we got here we pretty much walked everywhere because our hotel is right by the pier which is centrally located to everything we wanted to do. While the sidewalks are busy with foot traffic there doesn’t seem to be issues with traffic or places to park. I was told by a bartender that Pismo Beach does not have public transportation. He said the people on staff park far away and use scooters to commute the rest of the way. "

    "Pismo Beach is a great place to live! We’ve been here four years and love how safe & clean the community is and how friendly our neighbors are. The close proximity to San Luis Obispo is a big plus too! Lots of local events that are family friendly and terrific fireworks display each 4th of July! Only complaints are how crowded neighborhood streets are from tourism in the summer months and the fact power seems to go out almost every time it rains. "

    "We love that we can easily walk into town and enjoy major events like the June Car Show or 4th of July, but we enjoy living far enough from the pier that we don’t deal with vacation renters or tourists on a daily basis. The town is fairly well kept, although the roads definitely need improvement. Weather is pleasant year round and neighbors are friendly. Most of the town sees very little crime, but that increases during the major tourist season of April - September. We’ve enjoyed living here for almost 4 years, but this is not where we will stay forever. Overall, would recommend this community for older people (we’re 30 and feel way too young for this town) or anyone looking for small-town beach living. "

    "My wife and I have only lived in Pismo Beach for six months and our house was broken into after two months. But the Pismo Beach police were terrific, very competent and recovered some of the stolen items. We like our neighborhood, although we find it a bit odd that there are so many houses with renters living there."
