The seaside town of Pacifica, California is just 14 miles from San Francisco but it’s a world apart. Join Jamie Monozon, CEO of Pacifaca Chamber of Commerce for an insider’s look at the town's many attractions. 

It’s surfers' paradise—there’s even an annual International Doggie Surfing Championship. Pacifica is an artist enclave, a hikers' paradise; there's crab fishing on the pier, whale watching, dining in family-owned eateries: beachcombing and live music are all popular draws.
