Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve sits on the east side of Highway 1, directly across from Pescadero State Beach. It lies about 15 miles south of Highway 92 along the San Mateo County coast.

Several hiking trails are available in the area. North Pond Trail (1) is accessed across the road from the northern parking lot or from the Sequoia Audubon Trail. Sequoia Audubon Trail (2) is accessed from the central Pescadero State Beach parking lot and follows the southern edge of North Marsh. Butano Trail (3) is accessed from a parking area on Pescadero Road just off Highway 1 and leads to Butano Creek.
