Montara State Beach
4.7 (483)park
4.7 (483)Framed by sandstone cliffs, this rugged mile of golden sand draws surfers, tidepoolers, and coastal walkers.
Description
Set along Highway 1 in San Mateo County, the shore is flanked by rocky outcroppings that open up space for beachcombing and surf fishing. While conditions attract wave riders, hazards like strong currents and sneaker waves mean swimming is generally not advised, keeping the focus along the tide line and open water breaks.
Good to know
Swimming not advised
