“Best homemade churros !!! Crunchy and delicious”

Feb 2024

My friend and I decided to check out the pier , when we discovered this cute green food truck . The owner specializes in homemade churros . He makes them in his food cart and fresh to order . They were delicious ! Very friendly service ! We will definitely be back for more churros. Yum yum

“Great views!”

Feb 2023

Stop by Cayucos and enjoy the beach and a walk down this pier. You can really view the sunset from the pier. Even better, grab some clam chowder from Duckies at the bottom of the pier and savor a great lunch and views!

Great pier for a stroll

Aug 2022

Great pier for a stroll and some fantastic views. Normally it's not crowded at all.
Note there are signs on both sides of the pier entrance - No Dogs. Leashed dogs are permitted on the adjacent beach, but not on the pier.

Just Beautiful!

Mar 2020

I love the whole vibe of downtown. It's just fun to walk up and down the street checking out the shops and eating at one of the little restaurants. I never get tired of it. We walk out on the pier all the time rain or shine.

Awesome beach front home

Mar 2020 • Friends

Great place to visit. Cayucos is a small town. We rented an beach front home on Studio Drive. The cute home has great views of the private beach. The back door opens to the Ocean..

Low key fun..

Mar 2021

Great spot to watch surfers and paddle boarders. Sunnier in a shucks than elsewhere on the coast, so a great place for a lazy walk. Lots of fun places to visit on the main drag nearby...

Fishing

Walked out in the pier and mostly contained families fishing. Obviously great place to view the ocean and coast line. No dogs allowed.

Surfer Paradise!

Apr 2019 • Friends

The pier walk was delightful, homage to the hundreds of local citizens who have made this pier possible. We were quite humbled at the inscriptions along the pier then wooowooo! A couple of young FIT men with surfboards passed us to dive off a diving platform near the end of the pier to take advantage of the breakers so far from the shore. We were most impressed and invigorated. BTW, clean restroom at beachside of pier.

Nice pier.

Jul 2015 • Couples

Pier was closed for refurbishment, but looked like a nice pier. Classic pier in a small beach town. Restaurants at base of pier.

Take a walk on this short pier

Jun 2021

Very old school pier and beach. Wasn't crowded at all and easy to walk on. Nearby parking as well. Don't forget to walk to the shops, like the brown butter cookie shop
