Pomponio State Beach
Seaside strolls serve up dramatic views at this remote beach.
At the mouth of Pomponio Creek, this windswept beach is hemmed in by high sandstone bluffs, some of which tower almost 200 feet high along the shore. Seaside walks are the main activity here, and it’s possible to trek all the way to San Gregorio State Beach (to the north) or Pescadero State Beach (to the south). Keep your eyes peeled for seashells and seabirds along the way, and pack a picnic to enjoy in the scenic coves of Pomponio Creek. There’s no camping at Pomponio, but campers can find options along the coast or at the surrounding state parks.
