Grover Beach
is a mid-size town located along the Central Coast of California, 92 miles north of Santa Barbara. What draws visitors to Grover Beach is its clean, high quality way of life, moderate Mediterranean-type climate and drive-on beaches. It’s a major beach and sand dune recreation area that attracts one million people each year, and is an outstanding site for off-highway enthusiasts. The entrance to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is just off Highway 1 at Grover Beach. Rentals are available at the beach for all-terrain vehicles to go four-wheeling or to just experience driving directly on a Pacific Ocean beach. Other activities in Grover Beach include dune hiking, fishing, clamming, horseback riding, golf and wine tasting. Located in San Luis Obispo County, which is renowned for its beauty and mild climate, visitors to Grover Beach have access to several thousand acres of wilderness and county parklands, campgrounds and picnic sites. One of the most beautiful places of interest near Grover Beach is The Dunes Center at the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, one of California largest and most ecologically diverse dune complexes. Sand dunes, some towering as high as 500 feet, are found at this preserve which spans 18 miles and encompasses 18 lakes. Children and adults alike will enjoy the museum at the Central Coast Exploration Station in Grover Beach, which has revolving exhibits, interactive displays and weekly special events.

Grover Beach Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
A Mild, Mediterranean climate describes the central coast of California that lies between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The area near San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year and very pleasant temperatures year round.
The terrain is made up of sandy beaches, gently rolling hills and sand dunes, lush foliage and vineyards. Cool ocean breezes keep temperatures from becoming too hot in the summertime. Low clouds and patchy fog are common on summer days, but it almost always burns off by midday. Conditions are very dry, and the occasional summer thunderstorm produces so little precipitation that range and forest fires often result from lightening strikes. In winter, the semi-permanent Pacific Ocean high retreats bringing rain into the area from November through March. These storms are widespread and at times heavy.
