The park is situated on a cliff and is a family friendly park in the Shell beach area of Pismo Beach, Ca. There is a lot of free parking, walking paths, picnic tables, kids playground with dinosaur themed and a public restrooms.
We arrived at the Dinosaur Caves Park via Price Street early in the morning. We passed through a few hotels/resorts on our way to the park. We found a parking spot easily. There was a small dinosaur statue beside the parks name sign. We were surprised by the cleanliness of the park, it’s stunning views of the ocean and the beautiful landscaping. My daughter liked the kids playground with dinosaur themed settings. We saw a few people walking and running on the trails. Some locals were also doing yoga and dogs were playing on the grassy field. We sat on a few benches along the trail and took pictures of the beautiful wild colorful flowers.
As we walked a little further from the playground. We stumbled on a small park named Margo Dodd with a cute gazebo in the middle and a great view of the ocean. A few feet away from Margo Dodd Park are stairs leading down to Shell Beach. But be aware of the warning signs stating that you are entering at your own risks due to safety. We watched our steps as we descended down the stairs. We explored the cave, the beautiful rock formations and the small tide pools. Just always be aware of the waves coming at the shore.
Overall, it’s a nice family friendly park with kids playground and access to Shell Beach but enter at your own risks. There were also street parking available. Be aware of were you are walking since the park is situated near a cliff.
Tips: Try to arrive early in the morning since the parking area gets crowded or full in the afternoon. Always wear your masks, maintain distance and wash or sanitize your hands due to Covid.
