San Gregorio Beach is at the intersection of Highway 84 (La Honda Road) and Highway 1 (Cabrillo Highway). La Honda Creek runs into the ocean here, and sometimes the creek redirects itself so that it is nearly impossible to get to the beach without wading through the creek up to your knees. Come prepared to wade, and you might see wildlife such as harbor seals, vellala vellala jellyfish, and crabs! You can walk about 2.5 miles north or 2 miles south on the beach before you will need to turn around.

Portola Redwoods State Park is a really lovely state park not too far from Silicon Valley that features a tiny waterfall and lots of very big redwoods.

A dog friendly beach south of Pescadero, where you will see not only tafoni (a lace-like pattern in the rocks because of wind erosion) but also seals sunning on rocks in the surf. Walk along the Arroyo de los Frioles Trail (just under a mile in each direction) to make the most of your trip.
