Planning a bachelorette party or simply need a getaway with the girls?

Take a few days off during the middle of the week, and you could have an inexpensive and unforgettable week with your girl friends. Here are a few of our favorite things to do with the girls:

Day 1:

• Establish your home base at BEST WESTERN PLUS Shelter Cove Lodge on a Wednesday. Booking during the week will save you 20% on a suite for two nights, which can then be split between the girls. Make reservations by calling 800-848-1434.

• Next, head down to Pismo Beach for some tanning or a few games of beach volleyball.
• Then, head over to Mr. Rick’s in Avila Beach on Wednesday night between 9PM & 12AM for karaoke and enjoy a few choice beverages.

Day 2:

• Start your next morning off with a leisurely walk on the Bob Jones Trail.
• Spend the afternoon relishing the royal treatment from The Spa Central Coast.
• Round off day two by attending The Great American Melodrama. Their shows offer entertainment and laughter for the whole group.

Day 3:

• After another free continental breakfast from Shelter Cove Lodge, stop by Wheel Fun Rentals and frolic about Pismo Beach with a four-person bike. Another great activity option is to take a horseback ride on Pismo Beach.
• Next, make sure and enjoy local Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, Sauvignon Blancs, and more at Tastes of the Valleys wine bar. Prefer a glass of champagne with the ladies? Stop by Cuvée Champagne & Delights Bar for a fun environment in Avila Beach.
• Round off your third day with an elegant sit-down dinner at Ventana Grill and order Pacific Martinis to toast a great week!

Planning a bachelor party or simply need to kick back and hang with the guys?

Take a few days off during the middle of the week, and you could have an inexpensive and stellar few days of manliness.

Day 1:

• Establish your home base at the BEST WESTERN PLUS Shelter Cove Lodge on a Wednesday. Booking two nights during the week will save you 20% on a room, which can then be split between the guys. Make reservations by calling 800-848-1434.
• Next, kick off your week right by taking a bro brewery tour. Pismo Brewing Company and Manrock Brewing Company are you closest options. Check out the complete list of breweries here.

Day 2:

• Start day two off right with your free continental breakfast from Pismo Lighthouse Suites, then stop by a rental shop–Moondoggies Beach Club, Pancho’s Surf Shop, Pismo Beach Surf Shop, Pismo Beach Dive Shop, or Sandbar Surf–and rent your wetsuit and board (you could also try skim boarding if you prefer to stay on the beach). If the surf doesn’t look great on Pismo Beach, you can always head slightly north of Pismo Lighthouse Suites and discover Shell Beach.
• Rejuvenate your morning activity with legendary clam chowder or a juicy hamburger from the famous Splash Café.
• Round off day two by attending The Great American Melodrama. Their shows offer entertainment and laughter for the whole group. First-timers can check in on FourSquare for free popcorn!

Day 3:

• If you’re not dedicated to surfing again, take the crew up the Shell Beach ridge trail for a challenging, scenic hike from Pismo Beach to Avila Beach. To start your hike, park on Caves Landing Road and look for a trail heading straight up the hillside. Ask Guest Services for directions.
• When you return, stop by Old West Cinnamon Rolls for a delicious mid-morning treat.
• Ready for the epic finale? Sky Dive Pismo Beach will take you from 13,000 feet up to the sands of Pismo Beach.
• Once your adrenaline rush ends, you can sit down for a calamari steak, pulled pork sandwich or fish ‘n chips at Steamers of Pismo. Stop by between 3PM and 6PM for happy hour.

Ask Guest Services for more incredible, manly adventures, eats, and entertainment!
