FALL/WINTER 2012-2013 Coastside Guide 29
No trip to the Coastside is complete without a glimpse of the
Pacific Ocean from one of the many beaches in the area. They range
from the wild and craggy to deserted stretches of sand, perfect for
a romantic stroll. There is something for the whole family. Dont
miss the well-known tidepools at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve or the
lighthouses that mark the regions northern and southern boundaries.
Youll see surfers, whales and other marine life, depending on the
time of the year. And you are virtually guaranteed a good time. See
the map in the front of the Coastside Guide for locations. Beaches
are listed from north to south.
Gray Whale CoveAn unofficial clothing-optional spot (at the
north end), there is parking across the street. Dont leave
valuables in the car thefts are reported often. Just south of of
the tunnel. Portable rest-room on steep trail to beach. About 100
stairs lead down to this breaktaking spot.
Fitzgerald Marine ReserveWhen the ocean rolls back the tides,
another world is revealed in pools that attract the curious from
all over the Bay Area. Look but dont touch!Restrooms and visitor
center in small parking lot. Walking trail on bluffs above
beach.
Montara State BeachA Coastside favorite because of the wide open
beach and beautiful views of Montara Mountain. Great for walks and
beachcombing. Leashed dogs allowed on beach. Restrooms in south
park-ing area. Popular surf spot, but not recommended for
beginners.
Seal CoveSecluded beach underneath the Moss Beach Dis-tillery.
Can be a great swimming beach, especial-ly at low tide. Reef blocks
large waves creating a relatively calm lagoon. Can be lots of
seaweed. Beautiful trail on blufftop though cypress forest.
Rosss CoveThis is the hidden half-moon just north of the fa-mous
Mavericks break. It can be tricky getting to the beach, but worth
the effort. Park at Mavericks parking lot and head up and over the
hill to well worn trail. Experienced surfers only. Beautiful trail
to Seal Cove on blufftop.
Montara Lighthouse BeachA small beach accessed through the
Montara hostel/lighthouse station. Historic fog signal dates back
to 1875. Secluded and scenic, but not accessible if gate is closed
at lighthouse. No facilities.

FALL/WINTER 2012-2013 Coastside Guide 31
Surfers BeachThis is the most popular surf spot on the San
Ma-teo County coast and usually the most crowded beach when the
weather is good. At high tide, beach can disappear completely.
Erosion has removed much of the golden sand that can be found at
other spots.
Dunes BeachPretty, quiet beach with paid parking available. You
may see surfers or just those who love a long walk on the beach.
Access at Young Avenue, straight through the kiosk. Flush toilets.
Trail down to beach. Good spot to park and explore Coastal
Trail.
Poplar BeachWide and often uncrowded beach south of down-town
Half Moon Bay. Metered parking. Steep, dirt trail leads down to
wide open beach. Great spot to access Coastal Trail. Popular beach
for eques-trians to ride along.
Miramar BeachAccessed by a short staircase near the Miramar
Beach Restaurant. Limited parking but can be a nice spot when
Surfers Beach gets crowded. Beach disappears at high tide and for
much of the winter. Uncrowded but inconsistent surf.
Venice BeachThe end of Venice Boulevard opens into a beach
operated by the state. Multiple, large parking areas. Flush
toilets. Stairs to beach at northern lot, but you may need to ford
creek to get to the sand. Remember: gates close at sunset.
Francis State BeachPerhaps the busiest of Coastside beaches,
there is ample paid parking and access to the Coastal Trail. At the
end of Kelly Avenue. Popular for surfing and picnics. Large camping
area for RVs, cars, and cyclists. Ranger station and visitor
center.
Roosevelt BeachThe northern end of four miles collectively known
as Half Moon Bay State Beach. Access at Young Avenue. Turn right at
kiosk and travel slowly down access road. Large parking lot and pit
toilets. Uncrowded most of the year.
AlcatrazSouth of the bridge at Miramar. Access is best from
Mirada Road, down the Coastal Trail. Old stairs are washed out.
Shifting sand bars can sometimes create good surf. Careful though:
at low tide, pillars from old pier can be exposed.
MavericksKnown more for giant waves than the beach,
nev-ertheless, beach can be beautiful retreat at low tide. Trail
from harbor leads past calm beaches popular with dog walkers and
kayakers. Don't expect to see famous waves in any season than late
fall or winter.

FALL/WINTER 2012-2013 Coastside Guide 35
Cowell RanchLocated south of Half Moon Bay, Cowell begins with a
half-mile trail to the point and then 150 stairs to a
well-protected sandy beach. Restroom at lot and at beach. Permanent
view scope on bluff. Norhtern access point for 3 mile
Cowell-Purisima Coastal Trail.
Pomponio State BeachPlenty of parking and picnic tables make
this South Coast beach a perfect place for a barbe-cue with family.
This day-use facility features a small lagoon and roaring surf.
Gazos Creek BeachAbundant tidepools dot a beach that is now part
of the Ao Nuevo State Reserve. The reserve also includes Cascade
Ranch. Parking is across from the Gazos Grill restaurant.
Tunitas Creek BeachWide, wild beach with dramatic cliff views to
the north. Few visitors perhaps because of the difficult, very
steep trail down from Highway 1. If you are feeling adventurous,
explore the caves on the southern part of the beach.
Pescadero State BeachRocky coves and tidepools. Popular with
fisher-men. Across the highway is Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve,
a popular spot for bird watch-ers and other naturalists. Several
parking areas.
Bean Hollow State BeachBeautiful horseshoe shaped cove with
plenty of tidepools to the north. Look for the self-guided nature
trail and keep your eyes open for sea urchins, crab and other
marine life. Small, power-ful waves can break right onshore.
San Gregorio State BeachThere is enough driftwood to build a
vacation home on this mile-long sandy beach at the mouth of the San
Gregorio Creek. Restrooms and picnic area. At the intersection of
Highway 84 and 1.
Redondo BeachSweeping views from the bluffs but a difficult
scramble down eroded cliffs to the beach. Seldom visited but good
way to access the Ritz-Carlton segment of Coastal Trail to the
south.
Ocean Colony BeachYou dont need to stay at the Ritz-Carlton to
utilize this beach. Park just before entering resort prop-erty on
Miramontes Point Road. Beach is tucked under the golf course.
Stairs down to beach.

The Coastsides a great place to play. With the ocean to the
west, the hills and mountains to the east, and two great golf
courses to the south, there are numerous opportunities to get out
and play. At Surfers Beach, located just south of Pillar Point
Harbor, waves range from a few inches to several feet for surfing.
The beach is also a popular spot for ocean kayaking, windsurfing
and surf lessons. Along the beach, the paved Coastal Trail
stretches some 4.2 miles from the end of Poplar Street in Half Moon
Bay to near Pillar Point Harbor and is open to walkers, joggers,
bicyclists and skaters. Horseback riding along side this trail is
an option as well. Half Moon Bay Golf Links comprises two
world-class 18-hole courses. The James Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in
Moss Beach is a living museum of sea stars, anemone, algae and
other ma-rine life in acres of tide pools. The Half Moon Bay
Recreation Services Department is a great resource for classes for
kids, youth and adults.
