(See All)
Also known as Pacifica State Beach, Linda Mar is a wide crescent-shaped beach favored as a local surfing spot and one of the most loved and used beaches in Pacifica by residents and visitors alike. Located adjacent to Highway 1, it features a coastal trail stretching along the beachfront to enjoy from one end to the other and is critical habitat for the threatened Western Snowy Plover. In addition to beach cleanups, it is the site of native habitat restoration events providing hands-on learning experiences for participants.
Site Captains: Meet Ana Garcia and Jim Fithian. Together, this husband-wife dynamic duo has been active coalition members and co-captains since 1997.

Where to Meet: At the southern end of the main parking lot (near Taco Bell).

Great for families. Bring the kids and friends to beach cleanups and restoration projects. See where plastics end up and why it’s important to reduce plastic use and commit to more sustainable agriculture and fishing with less adverse human impact.
Be sure to RSVP, sign a waiver (if applicable) and check with the mentioned organizer to confirm details in advance.
Some snorkel, dive or beach cleanups may require proper certification and being comfortable in or around the water and familiar with water safety. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out. Mahalo 🤙
