    Very scenic place. Parking lot is small. So good to park at Pacifica state beach parking and take a walk through the trail

    Little nice cove, with very pretty hike on the south side hill of it. Great spot for surfing if you are not a total beginner. Could park with your car facing the ocean πŸŒ…

    It was a gorgeous sunny day with a nice cool breeze. This place offers a free parking lot. I went on a weekday morning, and there was plenty of parking. There are restrooms. There are several benches, near the parking lot, to sit and enjoy the view, in case you didn't take your own beach chairs. There are a couple of trails on each side of the beach. From the parking lot to the right, you will have a paved maintained in and out trial (Rockaway Point trail) rated as easy. The Mori Ridge Trail loop trail is to the left and rated hard if you do the big loop, but there is a smaller loop rated moderator. There are a couple of restaurants to grab lunch or dinner. I would suggest getting it to go and enjoy lunch on the beach. ***Be mindful of seagulls, pigeons, and other birds if you decide to eat on the beach. You feed ONE, and you will have a swarm of hungry birds. I would suggest not feeding any, so that you may enjoy food in peace.

    Very nice beach with about 20 parking spots, was very quiet during a weekend sunset viewing. There's a nice cliff beside it that is an easy hike up with very nice views

    Nice, small dog friendly beach. Check the tide before coming, it's narrow. Cool rocks and coastline

    This is my favorite beach in Pacifica. Each time I'm in town I try to visit, usually having breakfast or brunch nearby at Nick's or another restaurant. Absolutely gorgeous.

    One of the best place for hangout and hike beside the pacific. The trail are clean and quite. Nice view of the ocean from the parking lot. Parents can use stroller to use the hike. Parking is free and limited. Very few people know this place. Btw, people from outside bay area can book a hotel (marriot) which is very close to the ocean. Also it has some beach side restaurant. Overall a very good place.

    A nice spot to look at the beach, have a walk, dine, or stay at the motel, or hotel.

    Great scenic local beach community. Was there with coworkers as part of the Pacific Beach Coalition's CA Coastal Cleanup Day. The weather was perfect and was fun to hang on the beach acyerwards for a picnic. Definitely coming back to check out the nearby hiking trails.

    Easy hike on paved trails. A large part of the trail is a long the road, which is too bad. Took the non paved path, but was not really a trail once you're on the way back. Beach itself was beautiful with lots of families and surfers. Wish some dog owners were more responsible about picking up after their dogs. Also, poop in bags left on the trail is not picking up after them.

    There’s a great hike on the mountain with some of the best views I’ve had in Pacifica.

    Crab sandwiches not as good as they use to be. The shrimp was good.

    Their service was wonderful, and the food was amazing. They were super fast, and very friendly. My friend enjoyed πŸ˜‰ it. It was his 1st time there. His response was, that he loved it. And good pick. We come there a lot, with friends. I'll go there again, and again.

    Nicks has the best crab sandwich you've ever had in your life. You simple must go there and try it. A bit pricey but it's worth it!

    Nice little beach!! Not super crowded, easy to get to from the parking lot (maybe 7ft down a skinny sloped path until you're on sand) It's relatively chilly although there were some kids wading in the water. Don't swim unless you have a wet suit. We saw some surfers which was cool! Oh yeah, and the sunsets can't be beat! There are a bunch of hiking paths people use all day. Lots of dogs on the beach, mostly off leash. Two nice benches permanently affixed near the parking lot - which has a restroom and a footwashing station/outdoor shower

    Free parking is hard to find. It's not a beach that is suitable for little kids who like to run in and out of the water. Ocean currents are very strong, with very close drop-off points. For surfers πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ it is amazing!
