Pomponio State Beach, State beach in San Mateo County, United States.
The two-mile stretch of sandy coastline features high sandstone cliffs and a small lagoon at the mouth of Pomponio Creek.
The beach bears the name of José Pomponio Lupugeym, a Native American leader of Los Insurgentes who was captured and executed in 1824.
The coastal area holds deep connections to indigenous peoples who relied on its natural resources for generations before European settlement arrived.
Visitors can access picnic tables, barbecue facilities, and restrooms in the central parking area, with paid parking required for beach entry.
The secluded northern and southern sections connect to neighboring state beaches during low tide, creating extended walking possibilities along the shore.
