Latest reviews on Pacifica's beaches

Montara Beach
10 Mark Merson.

This serene beach is a hidden gem with breathtaking trails and stunning vistas. The month of July brings a vibrant display of African lilies, which entices countless tourists to its shores. You'll relish the tranquility of this secluded paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of the more popular beaches.

Gray Whale Cove Beach
10 Kairos

This beach is definitely worth the short hike from the free parking lot just south of the tunnels on hwy 1. The old military bunker is really cool and the views are beautiful. Plus, there are plenty of fun things to do.

Moss Beach
8 N. Kostovski

This charming beach is an ideal spot to admire the captivating tide pools. It's worth noting that outside food is not permitted, which could make it an exciting adventure for young children.

Ocean Beach
10 Nhu Nguyen.

I had my first encounter with the ocean and it was truly an exhilarating experience. The beach was pristine and the sand was noticeably cleaner than the usual beaches of Lake Tahoe that I am accustomed to. The scenic beauty of the beach was simply breathtaking. Moreover, the beach was conveniently located within walking distance of multiple bus stops which made commuting a breeze. I even managed to collect a rock and a sand dollar, the latter of which I had never seen before. Unfortunately, the bathrooms were closed and the wash stations were turned off, leaving me puzzled as to why. Despite this, my time at the beach was a fun and unforgettable experience.

Rockaway Beach
10 Larissa Bennett

The beach is absolutely stunning, with a lovely little hike to both the south and north side cliffs that provide breathtaking views. The sand is a darker shade, but still beautiful nonetheless. The sunset is a must-see, as the area is simply stunning during that time of day. For those looking for a dining experience, Nick's restaurant offers ocean view seating, live music, and dancing on Friday and Saturday nights.

Funston Beach
