Review:

The Pescadero Marsh Nature Preserve spans 235 acres of Pescadero State Beach along Highway 1 and is the only large wetland along the San Francisco Peninsula coast. The preserve includes five different habitats, including tidal estuary riparian woods, scrub, and two different marshes, and a trail that leads visitors through them all. During nice weather docents from the visitor’s center lead two hour walks on the first and third Sundays of the month. Kayaking, seasonal fishing, birdwatching, and hiking are the main activities that people enjoy at Pescadero Marsh, and there are four trails to explore. The march is undeveloped and does not have handicap accessible trails. Toilets are available only in the parking lots. Dogs, foraging, and fires are not allowed.
