Pescadero, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pescadero is an unincorporated community in San Mateo County, California two miles east of California Highway 1 and Pescadero State Beach. Historically, it was a farming and ranching community that attracted hunting and fishing near the Pescadero Marsh which is now a wildlife refuge. Today, Pescadero is a weekend tourist location during the summer months because of beaches, State Parks including Memorial Park and Butano State Park, as well as extensive rural roads for biking and trails for hiking in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Attractions include Duarte's Tavern, Muzzi's Deli and Norm's Bakery, as well as a Mexican restaurant in the local gas station. Pescadero hosts the annual Pescadero Art and Fun Fair (PAFF) on the third weekend of August. Many of the buildings in town date from the 19th Century. Pescadero is situated near the Pacific Ocean about 17 miles south of Half Moon Bay and about 34 miles north of Santa Cruz. The town is home to Pescadero High School. The Pescadro High School and Middle School Teams are the Vikings and the Panthers, respectivly.
