The California coast was first explored by European navigators in the 16th century, with Portuguese explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo being the first to document it in 1542. Cabrillo sailed under the Spanish flag and is credited with the European discovery of the California coast. His expedition provided valuable information about the region, paving the way for future exploration and colonization.
In 1579, it was the English explorer Sir Francis Drake that explored the west coast. He landed just north of the area we now call San Francisco.
