Built around a string of coastal communities on the Pacific Ocean, Pacifica grew into a unified California city when nine unincorporated communities incorporated together in 1957. South of San Francisco, it occupies a rugged stretch of the San Mateo County coast, where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet beaches, bluffs and the ocean. The shoreline includes the protected Mori Point headland, while the historic Sanchez Adobe, built in 1846, recalls the region’s Mexican-era ranching past. Surf breaks, coastal walks and Rockaway Beach give Pacifica a distinctly ocean-facing identity.
