Pacifica Pier

Highlight • Bridge

This 1,140-foot pier is a great place to get up close to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the best places to watch for grey whales and humpbacks lunge feed as their tales slap the water. If you're lucky, you can catch one breaching for an unforgettable photo.

Rockaway Beach

Highlight • Beach

Protected sandy beach in a cove framed on both sides by Mori Point and Arami Point. The beachfront trail is worth a short loop off the main Pacific Bike Trail which follows the road. Note the sandy section between the parking area and the waterfront trail that can be tricky with skinny tires.

Old San Pedro Mountain Rd trailhead at Higgins Rd, Pacifica

Highlight • Trail

Gate to prevent cars entering the gravel road that leads to the popular mountain bike alternate route affectionately dubbed Planet of the Apes, leading through McNee Ranch to Montara, avoiding the busy Highway 1

Pacifica Vista on Old San Pedro Mountain Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this spot on Old San Pedro Mountain Road, you get truly stunning, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding foothills and grasslands. This is a great spot to take in the view and catch your breath before continuing on your ride.

Old San Pedro Mountain Road summit

Highlight • Summit

This isn't the sort of road you'd take a vehicle on, nowadays - but it's great for nontechnical mountain biking, and this high point gives you nice views over the surrounding hills.

Southern Devil's Slide Trailhead gate and overlook

Highlight • Trail

At the southern opening of the 2013 Tom Lantos tunnels the old road is now a bike trail.

Tip by

20.5 km

Devil's Slide

Highlight • Cycleway

While the whole section of the bike trail, now closed to car traffic since the 2013 opening of the tunnel, clings precariously to the cliffside, the worst of the actual slide area is apparent also by the 9% steep section of the trail.
