Pescadero State Beach
Explore a diverse ecosystem of beach, coves, bluffs, dunes, and wetland at this scenic beach park.
Located along the scenic San Mateo Coast, Pescadero State Beach offers a mile of scenic shoreline, and includes a wide and sandy beach area, a series of rocky coves, sandstone bluffs, offshore rocks, an extensive dune system, and a nature preserve of tidal wetlands teeming with birds and other wildlife. Sunbathing, surfing, tide pooling, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife spotting are all popular activities here. There is no camping at the beach or within the nature preserve, but campers can stay near a beach at Half Moon Bay State Beach or among the redwoods at several state and county parks further inland.

When to Go
The state beach is open from 8am to sunset daily. Summers are popular times for visitors at the park. Early spring and fall are the best times to visit to see migratory birds. The best time to look for mussels in the tide pools is from November through April. Docent-led nature walks in the marsh are held twice a month, on the first and third Sundays of each month.
