Bean Hollow State Beach

CA state park logoThis is one of the best dog-friendly beaches on the San Mateo coast. If the lot is full, there’s also street parking and access north of the main lot, in a less crowded area.

The beach features fishing, picnicking, and beachcombing. Visitors can explore tide pools with anemones, crab, sea urchins and other marine inhabitants. The beach also has a self-guided nature trail.

Swimming is dangerous because of cold water, rip currents and heavy surf.

While you’re near Pescadero, stop at Duarte’s for some pie and soup!
