State Parks and Beaches on the Peninsula’s dramatic Pacific Coast attract over 2 million annual visitors seeking recreation and inspiration. Camping, hiking to explore beaches, marshes, and redwood forests, tide pooling, whale watching, and learning about history along the coast are just some of the activities visitors enjoy.
These parks encompass areas of remarkable natural beauty, habitat for endangered and protected species, and sites of historical significance to Native and early California cultures. Sacramento chronically underfunds State Parks. Your local beaches and parks need your help.

Coastside State Parks Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and has been a California State Parks Cooperating Association since its incorporation in 1990.
CSPA’s Mission: “to inspire public appreciation and stewardship of the natural resources and cultural heritage of the San Mateo Coast, in partnership with California State Parks.”
CSPA provides funding for programs and projects that enrich visitors’ experiences, that protect natural resources, and that augment the state’s budget. Examples are funding for volunteer docent programs, interpretive exhibits and signs, youth programs, habitat restoration, and facilities improvements, particularly for accessibility.
Our breathtaking coast comes to life with informative signage and knowledgeable volunteers. We ask you to support our vision to promote the rich cultural, historical, and natural aspects of our parks’ unique history from the original indigenous peoples to wild shipwrecks and more.
Imagine the remote, wild life as an 1800’s lighthouse keeper at the restored Pigeon Point Lighthouse. And, the life of the Quiroste people that lived along the coast at Año Nuevo State Park. Help CSPA to tell their stories and bring history to life.
