Summary Gray Whale Cove State Beach in Montara is a lovely little link in a chain of beaches that string together some of California’s best coastline. It is a quiet contemplative beach that is best suited for sitting in a beach chair and staring at the waves, and visitors can spot Gray and Humpback whales on the blufftop trail.
