This beach is one of the few black-sand beaches in California. The sand's dark color is due to high levels of iron oxide magnetite. Depending on the time of year, you can see sea lions, seals and migrating whales in the water near the beautiful coastline.

Hiking

The causeway along Pacifica Beach is a popular hiking connection to Mori Point. It protects the low-lying golf course that replaced the once thriving wetlands around the remaining salty laguna in the less environmentally conscious early 20th century.

Road cycling

Long sandy beach protected from road access and development by Sharp Park. Though mostly a luxury golf course, the park has a dam protecting the low-lying area that forms a beautiful linear promenade along the beach.
