Bean Hollow State Beach

A short 10-minute drive from Pescadero takes you to this lovely beach and state park. Here, you will find a rugged coastline of tide pools and rocks, as well as a small section of golden sand where you can marvel at the crashing waves of the coast in front of you. If you’re lucky, you might also see a few sunbathing seals hanging out on the rocks near the water. It is a nice place to wander and explore, as the tide pools are filled with unique creatures like crabs, sea urchins, and other anemones. However, swimming is not advised, as the waters are generally rough, cold, and home to hungry and dangerous sharks.
