Big Sur is up the coast a couple hours. There are some locations in the Coast Ranges above Santa Barbara and south of Cuyama – best in winter for the most part. I think you could do a coastal hike right from Pismo, but I've not done it. If that interests you, I think the contact would be the California Coastal Commission. Watch the tides!
Check out: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/lpnf/specialplaces/?cid=stelprdb5097577 and down scroll down to Santa Lucia District. The first 3 may hold some promise.
Lots of stuff around…
How far are you willing to drive?
How many miles are you looking to hike?
Anything specific? Wana be by water for fishing? ocean? swimming? Good views?
I just moved from Big Sur and did A LOT of hiking there. I would definitely recommend taking the ~2.5 hour drive to Big Sur.
The south coast of Big Sur is my favorite area. If you are interested, let me know what kind of hiking/backpacking you would like to do, and I can definitely give you multiple suggestions. :)
