Watch the Sunset: To view a picturesque sunset take a short hike out to Pedro Point in Pacifica. This spectacular view point is located on the Bluff Trail in Pedro Point Headlands that tower 600 feet above Pacifica State Beach. In addition to an Instagram worthy sunset, visitors can snap a shot of the variety of wildflowers and species (some of which are endangered) all of which call the Pedro Point Headlands home.


Go For a Round of GolfSharp Park Golf Course is a public par 72, 18 hole golf course designed by Alister MacKenzie (designer of Augusta National - home of the Masters Tournament). While golfing, take in the views of the Pacific Ocean, mountains and headlands. The original spanish style hacienda club house is still standing, since being built in 1932, and houses the starter/golf area, lounge, and dining room.

Hang 10: Catch the perfect wave at Pacifica State Beach, known as one of the best surf beaches in the Bay Area. This is a beautiful, mile long, crescent-shaped beach located off the scenic Pacific Coast Highway and is also home to the world’s most beautiful Taco Bell. No need to worry about packing your board, there are a number of nearby businesses that offer rentals.


Relax on the Sand: Pacifica is home to four unique beaches (Pacifica State Beach, Rockaway Beach, Sharp Park Beach & Esplanade Beach) all perfect for lounging with a good book and listening to the sounds of the waves. Conveniently located in close proximity to hotels (some of which are only steps away) and dining options, going to the beach is a great place to unwind before or after your busy day.

Go For A Hike: A great option for all skill levels is Milagra Ridge, as the path is mostly level and paved. Hikers and bikers can take in the views of the city and coastline as they make their way along this trail. The area is also home to several endangered species including the Mission Blue and San Bruno Elfin Butterflies and the California Red-Legged Frog.
