Pacifica. Nice town.
I used to go down there and watch the sunsets when there was no surface layer fog. Also used to ride my bicycle down there to do the climb up and over to the other side of the bay.
Cold water all year round though...
“Cold water all year round though...” For sure. I have surfed at Pacifica many times. The water is freezing, the waves can be full of seaweed, the breaks are fast and the locals are super friendly. It is boring to watch a dog surf, since it is like watching a box strapped onto a board get carried by a wave. More fun to watch kids surf, since they are full of terror and courage. As they say, “You only go surfing in Pacifica when you have to.”
I attended a 4th of July party in Pacifica about 30 years ago. We were huddled around a firepit in down jackets and knit caps.
The coldest winter I ever spent was the 4th of July in Pacifica.
