MEMORIAL PARK, PESCADERO by Edna Takeda Geller


Welcome To San Mateo County/Silicon Valley The Best Of The San Francisco Bay Area! We are thrilled to again welcome visitors to our scenic destination! While our region remains the home of tech and biotech innovation, our 60+ miles of coastline combined with vast open spaces filled with abundant natural beauty make San Mateo County/Silicon Valley a perfect destination to reconnect and reenergize. Home to San Francisco International Airport, we offer an array of experiences that are unparalleled. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll on the Bay Trail or a more aggressive hike among the redwoods, the sights and smells you’ll take in are noteworthy and picture-perfect. Golfers find courses and practice ranges with spectacular views, while bicyclists have miles of scenic trails and parks to explore. In addition to our abundance of sunshine, our region has earned a reputation as a culinary tourism destination with many restaurants offering outdoor dining featuring San Mateo County-grown produce, fresh seafood, locally produced cheese, wine and microbrews. When it’s time to rest and rejuvenate, choose from one of our 140 hotels which offer accommodations at every price point and setting – from unique, owner-operated bed and breakfasts to large resorts – and everything in between! With Stanford University in our midst, sport and educational opportunities abound. Cultural activities involving the arts, music, history, and entertainment are found throughout our area. Please consider our Convention and Visitors Bureau as your go-to resource when planning your trip. Check out our blogs, and get a sample of what our region has to offer. After your visit, stay connected to us via our Visitor Newsletter.
