Pacifica State Beach

Pacifica State Beach is a wonderful destination! The surfers and mist rolling over the surrounding beach hills create a stunning and tranquil atmosphere. It's a perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of nature and the ocean, whether you're surfing or simply soaking in the view. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic beach day.

Great beach near restaurants, bathrooms, and stores. The sunset was so pretty behind the hillside, did have to leave to actually fully see it. Plenty of parking especially if you come on a weekday. Would definitely come again.

Wide open beach with sand bars to walk out into surf. Doggie friendly. Restrooms. And great Peruvian restaurant across street. Highly recommend.

What a great beach to spend a sunny summer morning! Got here early, about 8:15 am on a Saturday morning for a surfing class, so there was plenty of parking. But by 9:30, families and groups started showing up. By 10 am, the parking lot was full. The beach is dog friendly and very clean. Pay for parking at the kiosks; $7 for 4 hrs and $9 for 4+ hrs. Parking is free for 30 mins but you still have to get a receipt and place on driver side dashboard. There's a Taco Bell there too for a quick bite to eat. Will definitely be back to take in the beautiful views again.

Pacifica State Beach is located below Daly City. It’s a beach where a lot of surfers surf here. It’s a nice beach to go to and it has a Taco Bell Cantina. Parking is free if you decide to stay up to 30 minutes. Otherwise, you either have to pay $7 if you want to stay for 4 hours or less ($9 for 4+ hours). Honestly, it could have been $5 for not staying more than that many hours but still inexpensive though. I won’t really give it five stars because there’s not much really much to do here besides just relaxing at the beach, swimming, or eating at Taco Bell. Perhaps, having a nice looking beach can make up for it but there’s too much debris. Taco Bell is literally the hot spot of the location, which I will discuss at my other review of it. Parking gets packed especially during the afternoon. I highly recommend you arrive early morning to avoid this issue. Almost noon time is fine, but might be almost full. It’s also a little cold here. So, you may want to dress a bit heavier.

This place is a great place to watch the sunset and also watch with friends and family. We loved it, and we definitely come back again. 5 stars and recommended as I am a local guide.

A Bag Area beach, meaning that it’s often very foggy and/or cloudy, and it’s fairly cold. There’s an incredibly nice Taco Bell (Cantina) located on the beach, and they occasionally have events there - like dog surfing.

Beautiful beach! Higher tides when we were here so low tide wasn't quite low enough to see much but we still some anemones, mussels, snails, and hermit crabs! We saw a whale a feeding, partial breech a few times! According to other beach goers, there had been a whale feeding there the entire day before!
