Pacifica State Beach Details
With a 0.75 mile crescent shaped beach, this is one of the longest of the Pacifica beaches. It also happens to be one of the cleanest, with very few rocks, seaweed, or broken shells littering up the shore. It can be windy, so make sure to bring a jacket or wetsuit if you're planning on spending the day here. However, the tides are generally calm and flat, perfect for those learning how to surf, wakeboard, or bodyboard.
