Community radio, fun stores, historic dining, welcoming goats in Pescadero

A day trip to Pescadero is a nice escape from the workaday world of the Bay Area.  This coastal farming town of 595 people (and a few hundred goats, cows and chickens) is about an hour’s drive from San Francisco and San Jose, and 14 miles south of Half Moon Bay. 

One way to settle in for a visit is to tune into local radio station KPDO, at 89.3 FM, the community radio station which features music and local news.  KPDO’s broadcasting studio, located in a funky, painted Grumman truck, is a landmark for visitors entering town on Pescadero Creek Road. Look for the heart sculpture and the mural painted on the side of the truck, or listen in at KPDO.net.
