Pacifica: Sharp Park Beach
Sharp Park Beach in Pacifica, California is located along the San Mateo County coast, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) south of downtown San Francisco. It is known for its rare black sand, created by a high concentration of iron oxide minerals. Sharp Park Beach offers a mix of fishing, wildlife viewing, and scenic coastal walks, with nearby attractions like the historic 18-hole Sharp Park Golf Course (opened in 1932) and Mori Point, a 110-acre (about 45-hectare) park with sweeping ocean views.
