San Gregorio State Beach, California state beach in San Mateo County, United States.
San Gregorio Creek creates a freshwater lagoon behind a sand barrier, where waters flow beneath the surface into the Pacific Ocean.
A stone marker indicates where Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portola's expedition camped for three days in 1769 during their journey towards Monterey Bay.
The Department of Fish and Game considers restocking the creek with coho salmon to enhance the marine ecosystem south of San Francisco Bay.
The beach provides restrooms, picnic tables, and a large parking area on the bluff, with additional free parking spaces along La Honda Road.
North of the creek, visitors can explore caves and examine fossils embedded within the tall sandstone cliffs that line the shoreline.
