What Happens When You FLY to San Luis Obispo for a DAY TRIP to Pismo Beach

We skipped the 8-hour round-trip drive and hopped on a Beechcraft Bonanza to San Luis Obispo for the ultimate spontaneous California day trip. 🚀
Starting from ACI Jet Orange County South (SNA), our friend flew us straight to ACI Jet San Luis Obispo, cutting travel time down to just one hour each way. From there, we grabbed a rental car and spent the entire day exploring some of the Central Coast’s most iconic spots:
Fresh clam chowder and fish & chips at Brad’s Restaurant in Pismo Beach

A surf competition at the Still Frothy Surf Festival near the Pismo Beach Pier

Stunning coastal views at Dinosaur Caves Park and Seabird Rock (covered in seabirds!)

A quick stop at the famous Madonna Inn, where we randomly walked into a gaming convention

Wandering through Downtown San Luis Obispo, checking out the architecture, shops, and coffee spots

This was the definition of a true Detour Club adventure — no itinerary, no plan, just flying in and seeing where the day would take us.
