Be aware that sections of Point San Pedro Road tend to flood during high tide events and/or during periods of heavy rain.
It’s a good idea to check the tide charts before heading out to see if high tides are high enough to cause flooding and when the flooding might occur. Note that the tide predictions do not take into account other weather factors, such as winds, currents, rainfall, or atmospheric pressure that can affect both the timing and height of the tides.
These sections of the road are known to flood:
- Near Summit Road and Loch Lomond Marina typically floods when tides exceed 8 feet. When going West of Pt San Pedro Road, you can detour around this section by turning right on Summit Road and then using your GPS app to direct you to your destination.
