Montara State Beach

Montara State Beach

This beach is a popular location for visitors who enjoy exploring the beach tide pools or surf fishing. It is bounded by low hills to the north and south. Restaurants and grocery stores are nearby. The water is clear, the surf is strong and the sand is nice and soft. This is dog heaven!

There are two beach access points from the bluff area. One access is across from Second Street, immediately south of the Outrigger restaurant. The second access point is about a half-mile north on the ocean side of Highway 1 and the last few steps have been washed out. The paths down to the beach are steep.

Remember that dogs must be leashed at all times.

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.
