A mile-long stretch of sand on the rural San Mateo County coast is set to become the county’s newest regional park. Tunitas Creek Beach, which was once owned by rock singer Chris Isaak, was purchased by the county in 2020 and has been undergoing a transformation ever since.

The park will feature trails, interpretive displays, parking, public restrooms, and other amenities. It will also be home to a variety of plants and animals, including sand dunes, wildflowers, and shorebirds.

Construction on the park is expected to be completed in 2024. Once it is open to the public, Tunitas Creek Beach will provide a much-needed outdoor space for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The park is located just south of Half Moon Bay and is accessible from Highway 1. It is a popular spot for hiking, fishing, and beachcombing. The park will also be a great place for birdwatching, as it is home to a variety of shorebirds, including sandpipers, plovers, and herons.

The creation of Tunitas Creek Beach Park is a major step forward for the San Mateo County coast. It will provide a much-needed public space for recreation and enjoyment, and it will also help to protect the natural resources of the area.

Here are some of the benefits of the new park:

  • It will provide a much-needed outdoor space for residents and visitors to enjoy.
  • It will help to protect the natural resources of the area.
  • It will create jobs during the construction and operation of the park.
  • It will boost the local economy by attracting visitors to the area.

I am excited to see this new park become a reality. It is a great addition to the San Mateo County coast and I know that it will be enjoyed by many people for years to come.
