👍👍 Gorgeous little beach. There is a small hike to the south side cliff and the north side cliff which offers gorgeous views. Sand is dark colored. Beautiful area at sunset. There is a restaurant Nick's that offers ocean view dining and has live music and dancing Friday and Saturday nights.

Milagra Overlook Hiking Trail
Hiking area
👍 Echoes of two past wars are still present on Milagra ridge, and can be easily identified on this short hike above Pacifica. Thankfully the military emplacements don't detract from the beauty of the park, nor do they obscure the excellent panoramic coastal views which make this short hike a worthwhil...

Baquiano Trail Head
Hiking area
👍👍 One of the most interesting trails in Pacifica. Big climb followed by a rolling ridge to the view of the SF Bay. At the fork near the Portola site, go right and follow the road about 3/4 of a mile to the Sweeney Meadow. Crazy satisfying and worth the trip.
Great to run.

Esplanade Beach Overlook Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 One of my favorite spots in Pacifica to watch the sunset! Street parking can be tough on warm days though. There are two concrete benches along the path to sit on and the views are practically unobstructed with just a cable wire fence!

Manor Beach
Public beach
👍 Good beach, but there are few things I should mention. No designated parking. Only street parking is available. There is no easy way to the beach, there is quite high steep with sandy and rocky trail. So, no way for people with disabilities to go there. Way up is a bit complex even for normal people...

👍👍 There is a signboard for Mori Point on Highway 1, so you can park your car on the street and take a 0.5 mile (800m) 20 minute hiking course to the cape of Mori Point.
The trails are well maintained and easy to walk.
Even small children and the elderly can walk slowly.
From mid-April to late April, y...

Sweeney Ridge Trailhead
Hiking area
👍 Parking: I parked at the bottom of the trail while the fog was still in around 10. You can park at the Orchard and should go all the way up the paved road to find ample parking.
The trail: It is a decent incline but has larger trees that you can take breaks at. I would recommend bringing allot of w...

San Pedro Beach

👍👍 What a lovely beach for family fun. It is also very popular with surfers of all ages and levels. Beach is shallow and gorgeously clear for a good stretch. Still be careful with the kids, watch them when they are in the water. Two Parking lots, but still pretty full on weekends. We waited for someti...
