san gregorio private beach

I would like to visit this place for my birhtday on August, I'm a gay guy and always travelling but my self, is that ok going by my self? Please share your experience and pics wiht me at (310) nine zero nine 4503 or arnul28 at hot mail dot com experience, pics and info to get there please, thank you.

I found this beach on internet, I read the yelp reviews, and then I decided go to this beach today. When I was driving all the way from San Jose, I was expecting the "friendly welcome" as described in the 5 star reviews. But I ended up with a lesson that you cannot rely on the information from the internet.When I arrived, the gate was locked. I guessed the owner was not there because in December not a lot of people go to beach.I saw on some webpage that "you can park on the San Gregorio state beach, and walk to this nude beach". So I tried to do it. I know all the beaches in California are public. I thought it was not a big deal to trespass a family running parking lot especially when I have no other choice. But when I was just about to arrive the beach, an old man appeared and shouted at me angrily. I said I could pay for whatever, but he just kept yelling at me. He ordered me to just go back where I was from. I apologized for twenty times, and left as soon as possible before he decided to shoot me.I know that I shouldn't have trespassed this private property. But again, if you own a piece of land blocking the access to the public beach, and you run it as a parking lot to make money, you should be friendly not only when you are being paid the parking fee...I did a little more more research after I came back, and found the following statement"No individual, partnership, or corporation, claiming or possessing the frontage or tidal lands of a harbor, bay, inlet, estuary, or other navigable water in this State, shall be permitted to exclude the right of way to such water whenever it is required for any public purpose, not to destroy or obstruct the free navigation of such water; and the Legislature shall enact such laws as will give the most liberal construction to this provision so that access to the navigable waters of this State shall always be attainable for the people thereof."--Article X, Sec. 4, Constitution of the State of California

What a better way of enjoy the sun, the water, yes I swam, it was "warm" all naked, I walked to the cave, what an experience. Enough space for everyone. I love it.

I love going to this beach in the Summer. It's about an hour drive for me so when I don't have to work I head down. The drive down US 1 is beautiful and so is the beach. I always bring a beach tent because as much as I love the beach I don't love sitting in sunlight all day long. I have found most of the people to be very friendly with some regulars that are always there. I just got a new car and will be driving down there once the Summer fog calms down.

This is the place to enjoy nature while being au natural. The beach is big enough that you usually have your own space. The ambient is friendly and laid back. I have been here several times and always try to get here when I am in SF. We came November 1 and got lucky with fantastic weather - but don't count on it.DO check the live web cam for San Gregorio Beach (Not the State Park web site) before setting out to avoid foggy days and disappointment. No facilities - bring your own everything.Come early on weekdays. Weekend traffic on the coast road can be horrendous. The guys who run this place are unfailingly friendly and polite. I highly recommend it - for nudists - if you are going to wear clothes go somewhere else!

My wife and I visited the beach for the first time at the beginning of October and had a wonderful day. Lovely sunny day and not at all crowded. Parking is so easy and you are on the beach in just a few minutes. Will definitely return.

Great place for sitting and watching/listening to the surf and smelling the sea air above the ocean. During low tide, you can go out on the beach.

Usually not too crowded. Limited wading. Swimming isn't advised. A nudist area was an option when I last visited.

Your are obviously a troubled individual. I have been going to this beach with its "creepy cowboy owners" for over 15 years. I have NEVER had a problem with them or the gay men on the beach. Usually, it's the rare straight pig who wanders up being gross. The owners are unfailingly polite, always friendly and have never approached any of my gay male friends, all of whom have been going there for longer than I. The beach is spacious, clean and lovely to walk on. You can make your own wind break or private cabana or take advantage of those that are already built. Bring a kite, a cooler and a book. This is a magical place! I've seen dolphins in the waves many times and there are few riptides. All around the best nude beach ever.

While the parking lot to the beach may be on private property, all coastal beaches in California are public by law. No one can eject you from any coastal beach by claiming private property. Of course, if your car is parked on their private lot, they do have the option of having it towed if you're trespassing.

This is a very nice park. Lots of parking spaces, very easy to get to from Half-Moon-Bay. Not creepy at all. Very pleasant, wide open, fine sandy beach with awesome view.Must wait for sunset!!

Okay I'll write a description of San Gregorio!Easiest reviewed by comparison. These places most certainly do exist and in a variety of settings: Haulover Beach bay #?? in Miami, Wreck Beach in Vancouver, Dead Man's Beach (Platja del Home Mort) in Sitges, Spain, and Super Paradise Beach on Mykonos, Greece. This is a privately owned piece of real estate with boulders protruding into the ocean at each end framing a wide cresent for meandering, reflecting and sea-shell collecting. Admission by car and # of occupants is charged. You don't have to BE anything in particular, except accepting. But one rule can get you ejected: NO PHOTOGRAPHS! And you don't want to waste time driving down from San Francisco if there's a FOG. The unmarked turn-off can be hard to find- persevere!The trail down to the beach zig zags like Lombard St. Look it's just a place for baring the bod and enjoying nature and to get your motor running. The AIDs pandemic shot this place to heck. My first trip here was in 1968. An old crumbling rail trestle along the side of the cliffs adds a scenic touch. Great locale to breathe in the Pacific Ocean. The other property owner at the top of the cliffs complained very very loudly back in the 80's watering the festivities which haven't ever fully recovered from that and AIDs. There are very few conveniences in range.DRIFTWOOD WAS COLLECTED AND ARRANGED IN CIRCULAR BAYS OR SHELTERS. Flesh pots arrive early to claim the most strategicly positioned sites. I haven't seen open fires or picnicking, just sex, and drugs, and rock 'n roll and a smattering of beautiful (male) people.Very definitely recommended despite the two lane blacktop "drammamine drive" journey.

You feel like you're in your own private reserve until you realize that there are these creepy cowboys who claim ownership of the beach and come down talking like something out of Brokeback Mountain. You also realize that they're up there watching your every move.

Um dos locais mais bonitos da Highway 1. A vista é maravilhosa. Traz uma sensação de paz inexplicável!
