We used Arnies to rent quads for the entire family. The gal at the main building was funny, efficient, and entertaining. When we got out on the beach, the guys were fine. The quads worked well and gave us lots of fun!

Although the equipment is quite old and beaten up, it is a lot of fun to spend time with the family. Kids from 6 years old can use the ATVs, it is pretty safe and fun.

We called BJs first. They were done for the day. Called Arnies and they told us it is much better to rent in the morning. So we changed our plans. Got out to the store at 10:30 so we could be out by about 11am. It was perfect. The store experience was great, very nice person, easy process. The young... More

Nice, fast and friendly staff. The dunes are not for the beginner, listen to the precaustions and take it slow. The sand appears flat then falls off 20 feet before you know it. If you take you time and learn the ropes its a blast, dont let your teenage boy show off his manhood out there, it can be very... More

We went on a Monday which was great in that very lite crowds allowed us to not be too intimidated as a weekend may have been. On site instruction was very clear, I belive his... More

I can't say enough about this place. We had a great time at Pismo Beach on ATV's rented from Arnie's. Connie, in the office was friendly and helpful on the phone and in person. Pat, made sure we knew how to use the ATV's, answering all of our questions and even digging our car out of the sand when we... More

The areal of sand dunes is very big with a great landscape of the coast in the background. you can drive directly with your car the 1.5ml at the beach to the trailer with the... More
