Overview
Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve is located inland from the Pescadero State Beach, on the California coast, 14.5 miles south of Half Moon Bay on Highway One, south of San Fransisco. Two creeks join to make an estuary and lagoon and it is the largest marsh between Monterey Bay and San Francisco, a haven for many birds.
