Seaside town of Pacifica, California—just 10 miles from San Francisco

KCBX | By Tom Wilmer

Published June 28, 2017 at 2:13 AM PDT

Rockaway Beach Pacifica, California

The seaside town of Pacifica, California is just 10 miles from San Francisco International Airport but it’s a world apart from the bustle of the Bay Area. Crab fishing on the pier, whale watching, dining in family owned eateries, beachcombing, surfing, hiking, and live music are just some of Pacifica’s attractions.

Located on Highway One, Pacifica is the perfect spot for a first stop for vacationers exploring the California coast.
