PISMO BEACH, Calif., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pismo Beach invites visitors to experience art, nature, and community in a new way at the first-ever Pismo Beach Sand Art Festival. From November 6–8, 2025, the shoreline will become a living, open-air gallery where the tideline itself serves as the canvas.

This free, family-friendly event celebrates the beauty of impermanence as large-scale creations are washed away by the tide each evening.

Festival Timeline
Plan your visit around low tide at sunset for the most striking views and photography opportunities. Drawing will begin around 2:00 PM every evening at the Pismo Beach pier. The sun sets at 5:00 PM each evening, offering a natural spotlight on the artwork.

The Pismo Beach Sand Art Festival is rooted in stewardship and sustainability. All visitors are encouraged to leave the beach better than they found it.
