Beach overall scores
San Gregorio Beach (California) is located outside the San Gregorio settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the San Gregorio Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"Visiting the beach on a weekday was truly a remarkable experience. Although the entrance fee was around $8, I was fortunate enough to visit on a day when it was free. The beach was not overcrowded which made it even more enjoyable. I spent hours here, building my very first sandcastle and relishing in the calmness of the surroundings. It was an incredibly serene and peaceful..."

"The beach is an absolute gem, especially during the quieter off-season when finding a parking spot is a breeze. I highly recommend taking a stroll up the hill to the right, which is only a short .75-mile loop but offers stunning panoramic views of both the north and south."
