Until that point, the area had been primarily used as a limestone quarry, the scars of which are still clearly visible today. In 1888, an Italian immigrant named Stefano Mori purchased the 19 acres that are now Mori Point to use as farm and ranchland. And the park continues to improve, thanks to the efforts of the more than 1,400 volunteers who have collectively spent 40,000 hours spreading native plants, clearing out invasive species, and improving trails. It also provides critical wildlife habitat for both the threatened California red-legged frog and the federally endangered San Francisco garter snake. Today, although it spans only a relatively small 110 acres, Mori Point is host to a variety of hiking and biking trails, stunning 360 views, dynamic wildflower blooms, and a unique blend of distinctive terrains. Local activists were able to transfer ownership of Mori Point to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in 2002, preserving this stunning gateway to the Bay Area’s natural lands. Long before its brief cameo in Harold and Maude, the point let travelers heading south know they’d left the city behind. They will need your name, the dates and areas you were swimming, symptoms and contact information for your or your health care provider.Mori Point is an iconic site, a striking promontory that separates San Francisco from the peninsula’s less-developed ocean coast.

Total Coliform > 1,000 MPN / 100 ml of waterĪ beach is marked Green when bacteria levels for a single day and geometric mean are below the standards mentioned.Ī beach is marked Red when bacteria levels for a single day or the geometric mean are above the standards mentioned.Ī beach is marked Grey when there is no current or reliable monitoring information available. Geometric Mean (5 samples collected over a 30 day period) Total Coliform > 10,000 MPN (Most Probable Number) / 100 ml of water The standards for indicator bacteria are as follows: Swim Guide checks for the latest results daily. Results are posted to their website within 48 hours. Samples are collected on Mondays and analyzed by the San Mateo County Public Health Laboratory for the levels of three indicator bacteria. San Mateo County conducts weekly sampling at over 43 ocean and fresh water sites throughout the year. Grey means there is no current water quality information, the beach is under construction, there has been an event that has rendered water quality information unreliable or unavailable. Red means the water at the site has water quality issues or there is an emergency. This status does not indicate current water quality. This means that this site has been issued a Blue Flag status for the current swimming season. We may manually set the status for a specific beach if we have concerns about the sampling protocol, if there is an emergency, if monitoring practices don't exist or have recently changed, or other reasons that render this site "special." Red means the beach failed water quality tests 40% of the time or more. Yellow means the beach passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time. Green means the beach passed water quality tests 95% of the time or more. This means that rather than displaying current data it displays the beach's average water quality for that year. When swimming season is over or when a beach's water quality data has not been updated frequently enough (weekly) it goes into historical status. ![]() Grey means water quality information for the beach is too old (more than 7 days old) to be considered current, or that info is unavailable, or unreliable. Red means the beach’s most recent test results failed to meet water quality standards. Green means the beach’s most recent test results met relevant water quality standards. ![]()
