Cayucos State Beach is known for its beauty, fishing pier and historical buildings. Many of the buildings left over from the prospering old town still stand as a variety of shops such as restaurants, antique stores, and specialty items.
Picnic tables, play equipment, restrooms and outside showers are available. The pier is lit for night fishing and a fishing license is not required while fishing on the pier.
The sandy beach offers mild weather, water sports such as surfing and swimming, and tide-pooling. Dogs must be leashed when they’re on Cayucos State Beach.
Right next to it is what the locals call Dog Beach, where dogs can run and play off-leash. Just be sure that your dog is under voice command at all times.
