The incredibly scenic Pescadero Beach has
a mile-long shoreline loaded with sandy coves, rocky cliffs and many
tide pools. It is a great place for Northern California fishing and
has full picnic facilities.
Dogs are prohibited on the beach and the
surrounding Natural Preserve at all times.
As always with Northern California beaches,
the weather can be changeable and layered clothing is highly recommended.
There are various hiking trails on the
beach and spots for fishing. Across from the beach is Pescadero Marsh
Natural Preserve, a very popular spot for bird watching and other natural
enthusiasts. Along with birds, the Reserve is a refuge for blue heron,
deer, raccoons, foxes and skunks. Because of the exceptional beauty
of this beach and the distinct, varied colors of the water, it is also
a very popular place for natural photographers.
The petite town of Pescadero is located
approximately two miles inland from the beach. One of the famous spots
for food is the Arcangeli Grocery and Bakery, located in the center
of town since 1929.
