Sequoia Audobon Trail (http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=25128)
Two miles of sheltered beach, with tidepools, huge dunes, and trails. The sea lions and the seagulls like it here, as do the fishermen who catch steelhead and salmon at spawning time in Pescadero Creek. Kids love investigating the big tidepools and sliding down the dunes. Restrooms, picnic tables, and barbecues available.
Just across the highway, Pescadero Marsh is 600 acres of uplands and wetlands, an important stop on the Pacific Flyway and a must for avid birders or for anyone who likes to walk on nature trails. Fall and spring are the best times to see thousands of birds nesting and feeding. An underpass provides safe access to and from the beach; no pets.
The views from this beach are amazing. The beach is clean and very family friendly. Check it out - this is truly the best nature has to offer.
