Mori Ridge, Sweeney Ridge, and Notch Trail junction

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mori Ridge trail is a wide gravel road that leads down to Mori Point and Highway 1. Notch trail is officially not for biking, and the many stairs (not mentioned on the map) are tough going down, and require a lot of carrying back up on the other side.

Rockaway Beach

Highlight • Beach

Protected sandy beach in a cove framed on both sides by Mori Point and Arami Point. The beachfront trail is worth a short loop off the main Pacific Bike Trail which follows the road. Note the sandy section between the parking area and the waterfront trail that can be tricky with skinny tires.

10.5 km

Sharp Park Beach

Highlight • Beach

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.

Pacifica Pier

Highlight • Bridge

This 1,140-foot pier is a great place to get up close to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the best places to watch for grey whales and humpbacks lunge feed as their tales slap the water. If you're lucky, you can catch one breaching for an unforgettable photo.

Tip by

13.4 km

Milagra Road junction

Highlight • Historical Site

The trail to the left is a small loop that leads to the Nike Missile Site SF-51L. In 1959, surface-to-air missiles were stationed on Milagra Ridge. You can still see the remaining bunkers, now covered in graffiti by local artists.
