Geocache Description:


San Gregorio State Beach is a stunning beach in a valley about 10 miles south of Half Moon Bay and a short drive from Silicon Valley in the South Bay Area. It has a big parking lot and a popular picnic area on the bluff above the beach. San Gregorio Creek flows down to the beach and pools before creating an exit route through the sand. At times this lagoon will fill most of the cove. Birds can be spotted at this location year-round. Logs and driftwood piles up in places around the lagoon and along the beach. South of the creek, the beach stretches for over a mile below rugged cliffs to Pomponio State Beach. This is an excellent beach walk with high sandstone cliffs the entire way. North of the creek there are caves and fossils in the sandstone cliffs to investigate.

There is a fairly short walk from the parking lot to the cache. Stealth may be necessary. There is a small single track trail that runs next to the cache that you can take to help you get closer.

Please place cache as found. Make sure to cover cache with natural camo after finding it.

Lots of room for swag and trackables so make sure to bring both along with you to swap out.

Make sure to enjoy the view after signing the log. Happy caching! 😎
