Marco Gonzalez is a Beach Street and Co-Founder/Managing Partner of Coast Law Group LLP in Encinitas, California.

While perhaps best known for his leadership in areas of political and environmental advocacy, Marco also has extensive experience representing responsible developers and small businesses in land use entitlement and permitting matters. Marco has successfully entitled major hotel and resort developments, marina expansions, single and multi-family residential subdivisions, and industrial/commercial facilities.

With this experience, Marco is one of a small group of San Diego area attorneys respected by community, business, labor, and governmental stakeholders to drive collaborative land use and development processes to regulatory approval.

Prior to founding Coast Law Group, Marco was the Senior Attorney at San Diego Baykeeper (now “Coastkeeper”), and the Chairman/legal counsel for the San Diego County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. When not working on cases and managing his law firm, Marco can often be found surfing alternative board designs at Cardiff Reef, chasing tuna offshore of San Diego, or mountain biking local trails around North SD County. Marco currently resides in Encinitas with his wife and two young children.
