If you are on a public beach and the drift wood is less than 10 yards from the water you can collect drift wood to the best of my knowledge unless the wood is considered an endangered or otherwise restricted item, it most likely isn't as I'm sure your local paper would have covered that at some point.0 yards would be a safe bet to collect anything from sanded glass, shells, driftwood or non-endangered sea creatures if you wish. You can eyeball the 10 yard measurement from the high tide mark as well.
Answer: The best places to find driftwood are on Northern California beaches such as these. However, you should be able to find plenty in the Bay Area and on the Central Coast. Keep in mind that driftwood gets washed downstream from forested areas then tossed around on the coast. So you're more likely to find it where there are forests nearby, and near areas where streams and rivers meet the sea. That's why there's so much driftwood in Northern California and so little in Southern California. There are redwood forests in Marin County, around Santa Cruz, and around the Big Sur area, so they should provide a decent amount of nice driftwood. I don't know specifically which beaches would be best.
