Hotels in Pescadero

Tide pools teem with starfish and anemones at Pescadero State Beach, where the Pacific crashes dramatically against weathered cliffs. Nearby, Harley Farms offers tours where goats demand head scratches before you sample their award-winning cheese. Duarte's Tavern serves legendary artichoke soup and olallieberry pie in a building that's witnessed a century of local gossip. Bean Hollow's smooth stones beg to be pocketed (but shouldn't be), while Pigeon Point Lighthouse stands sentinel over shipwreck sites. Butano State Park hides redwood groves where coastal fog creates an almost mystical atmosphere. This tiny town of 600 souls somehow maintains its agricultural character despite being just a short drive from Silicon Valley's relentless innovation.
