Catch the Wave: 40 Years of Sandcastle Memories

This year, Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach proudly celebrates 40 years of welcoming guests to the shores of Pismo Beach. Since opening our doors in 1986, we’ve been rooted in classic California surf culture, laid-back beach days, and unforgettable coastal memories.

We’re celebrating our 40th anniversary in full ‘80s style! From neon nostalgia to rad beachside activations, throwback events, and limited-time specials, we’re honoring four decades of surf culture, sun-soaked days, and iconic memories. Join us as we crank up the classic surf vibes and celebrate the good times — past, present, and future!
