San Gregorio is a town of about 150 people south of San Francisco; south of Half Moon Bay. Following Highway One, it is slightly inland on Highway 84, from San Gregorio State Beach. The beach is a favorite among locals, with lots of driftwood and soft cliffs it is a great place to spend a day. San Gregorio itself was formerly a booming town in the 1850's when wealthy San Franciscans would travel to the San Gregorio House by stagecoach to enjoy recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, sea bathing, and boat races. The building still stands but is no longer a functioning hotel. However, the San Gregorio General Store has been thriving since 1889. It houses eclectic items for sale from kerosene lamps, to crazy hats, to beach mementos. Its bar serves sasparilla and hot chocolate as well as alcoholic beverages, and is frequented by local musicians. The pottery shop next door shows local artwork. Recently, it has become a favorite among filmmakers looking for a "funky" historical backdrop. This article is about the city in California. ...
