When we head for the coast, we always go to both. The Madonna sits right between the 2 towns. We used to go to Cambria too, but don't do that as much anymore.
For the best tidal pools we head to Cayucos (I just spelled that way wrong). I haven't been to Avila since they dredged the oil-covered sand out and redid it. I prefer that beach over Pismo if I want to play, but I hate that pier. The boards are way too far apart and make me dizzy. The last couple of years they have been having issues with sharks too.
I love to window shop in Morro Bay and go to Carousel Taffy.
It always cracks me up to find the Bakersfield newspaper at the 711 in Pismo. Even when we went to the Dunes, about 1/3 of the people out there were from Bakersfield.
At one point the owner of the Madonna wanted to put in a tram/gondola thingy up to the top of the hill behind it, and then expand the hotel with a building up there, but the conservationists put a stop to it.
Highway 1 takes yo to MB, Cayucos, Cambria and then San Simeon. You have to get off of 101 in SLO and then pick it up near the college. It takes you past Cuesta JC, a huge park across from Cuesta is where they have the big Ren Faire every year.
