San Gregorio State Beach is a beach near San Gregorio, California, USA, south of Half Moon Bay. San Gregorio Creek widens to form a small freshwater lagoon in the park behind a sand berm, or barrier beach, which typically blocks the mouth of the creek, forcing the creekwaters to flow underfoot as they seep into the Pacific Ocean. During the rainy season the creek often cuts through the sand berm and flows directly into the ocean. A stone marker with a plaque commemorates the three days Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolà's expedition camped at the beach to rest and treat their sick in 1769, during their failed attempt to reach Monterey Bay. They would go on to discover San Francisco Bay instead.
