San Mateo Stories by the Sea

Green Foothills invites you to San Mateo Stories by the Sea, a guided coastal walk through the trails of the Francis Beach area of Half Moon Bay State Beach on Thursday, July 30 from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Join us for a leisurely 1 to 1.5-mile walk where the beautiful coastline is the backdrop for stories of Green Foothills’ history, the landscapes we’ve helped protect, and the conservation efforts shaping San Mateo County today.

Guiding us on our journey will be a Half Moon Bay State Beach Interpreter who will share fascinating insights about the area’s unique coastal ecology and lead us in a short nature journaling activity, offering a chance to slow down, observe, and connect with the natural world.

The route includes a mix of paved paths, sandy sections, and some unpaved trails. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, dressing in layers for the ever-changing coastal weather, and wearing pants with long socks, as portions of the trail may be overgrown.

This event is free of charge but there is a $10 parking fee.

Advance registration is required. Please fill out the form separately for each attendee.
