Public Access Program
Bringing the Benefits of Nature to All
People need access to nature for recreation and for their physical and mental health. Our parks, trails and natural areas play a key role in our quality of life and attract visitors from near and far. POST works to protect lands that create a more connected network of regional trails and open spaces that can be enjoyed by all. Additionally, in collaboration with our public agency partners, we support opportunities to develop and improve public access amenities on those protected lands.
Tunitas Creek Beach: A New Public Park
At the end of 2017, POST purchased 58 acres of Tunitas Creek Beach, a popular spot near Half Moon Bay that had suffered severe environmental degradation.
In collaboration with San Mateo County Parks, we are currently working on opening it as a public beach. You can help make this exciting vision a reality!
