Pismo Boardwalk Plaza MallThe Boardwalk Mall in downtown Pismo Beach was once the local plunge. Built in 1927 the indoor saltwater pool was believed to cure everything from corns on the feet to baldness on the head. During the Great Depression the pool attracted wealthy visitors form all over the State. Mr. Larry Cole won the saltwater plunge and some surrounding area in a poker game. By the mid-thirties the pool became a hangout for local youth. In 1937 C. T. Johnson leased the pool for $100 a month. Johnson also ran the Pismo Beach Fun Zone and turned the plunge over to Mr. Reed who covered the pool with a portable roller skating floor. Today's mall stayed a skating rink until 1985 when it was converted by Ural Foresee into a charming seaside mall. The Boardwalk Plaza retained the hardwood floor used for skating and displays historic pictures of Pismo's early days. Sitting next to the beautiful Pacific Ocean the Boardwalk Plaza offers a variety of unique shops and food. Clothing, gifts, wonderful food you can find it all . . . at the Pismo Boardwalk Mall, 175 Pomeroy in Pismo Beach. |
