Pomponio State Beach is a state beach of California in the United States. It is located 12 miles (19 km) south of Half Moon Bay off California State Route 1.[1]
This coastal strip lies between Pescadero and San Gregorio State Beaches. It is made up of several miles of sloping, sandy beaches and a small lagoon below high sandstone bluffs.[1]
A parking lot and a picnic area are available for public use during the day. There are hiking trails and beach access. No camping is available. Dogs and campfires are not permitted on the beach.[1]
The beach was named after José Pomponio Lupugeym, a Bolinas Native American and outlaw.[2] He was a captain of a group that called itself Los Insurgentes, and was captured and executed in 1824.[3]
