Description
San Gregorio State Beach is a scenic, wide sandy beach on the San Mateo County coast, located directly off Highway 1. San Gregorio State Beach includes a protected, driftwood-strewn estuary at the back of a wide, sandy beach with grassy bluffs along the coast. The estuary is home to many birds and small animals. A lagoon often forms where the creek meets the ocean, attracting birds.
