 | Pescadero State Beach |

Description
Families come here to picnic on the sand. Kids enjoy climbing up the large sandstone rock formation that slopes from the beach up to a view of the next cove over. During times of high surf, the waves are impressive here crashing against the rocks below. This beach is pretty nice, but not as great to play at as San Gregorio State Beach. Also, if it's rainy and you want to eat your picnic from your car, try the parking lot south of this one, Pescadero Jetty, for a great view.

Ken 10/15/2009 12:35 | The beach I like the best- the water is relatively clear, sand is clean and it is never crowded. The surrounding area has a small town atmosphere and there aren't any houses or hotels built on the beach. |
