On October 24, 1769, the Portolá Expedition camped at an Indian rancheria on San Gregorio Creek, about one-half league from its mouth. Tired and sick, they rested here over the 25th and 26th.

The historic Marker plaque here is currently missing, I hope being refurbished , but perhaps stolen. The monument stone is present with just the empty cut-out shape of a marker plaque in the stone.
The setting at the beach is very scenic and there is a parking fee for day use at the beach.
The Portolá Expedition of 1769 story is recounted by Gary S. Breschini for the Monterey County Historical Society.
