Exploring the San Francisco Peninsula

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Josh Meyers explores San Mateo County, aka the San Francisco Peninsula, with two local experts.He starts off the episode chatting with Nick Calderon, director of Parks and Recreation for San Mateo County. Calderon shares recommendations for the area’s vast outdoor offerings. “You can start your morning on a remarkable run or bike ride along the bay and end your night sitting on the beach in Half Moon Bay or in the mid-coast area having some food or a drink.” From camping in San Mateo to hiking in Half Moon Bay and surfing Mavericks in Pacifica, Calderon shares some of his favorite, low-key spots for outside fun. Next up, Meyers dives into the peninsula’s food scene with SFGate food editor Jessica Yadegaran. “I would travel down Highway 1 and make my way to a cultural landmark, an institution…that is the most beautiful Taco Bell in the world.” From Pescadero to Woodside, Yadegaran plans a food lover’s three-day weekend through the peninsula, suggesting breweries, historic taverns, and one-of-a-kind eateries—plus memorable stops and excursions to enjoy between meals.
