California heat wave brings people to Pismo Beach for cooler temperatures

PISMO BEACH, Calif. - Temperatures in the mid 60's are bringing people to Pismo Beach to escape the California heat wave that's reached temperatures upward of 100 degrees.

“It’s a lot cooler and you can just come over here and know that there's going to be a breeze and you’re going to sometimes be warm during the day and cool off at night," said Stacy Cowan who was visiting from Bakersfield.

There has been an uptick in temperatures along the Central Coast in recent days.

Paso Robles saw temperatures as high as 107 degrees over the weekend.

“Well we're from the valley and it's usually in triple digits. So to come out here and get a little breeze and actually get some sun, too, is is really nice," said Vanessa Contreras, who was visiting from Stockton.

Pismo Beach attracts visitors for its restaurants, shopping, pier, and surfing.
