Pacifica

Pacifica is a city of 40,000 draped along the Pacific Coast just south of San Francisco — a dramatic, fog-kissed community of surfers, coastal bluffs, and working-class grit that resists the Peninsula's affluent mold. Incorporated 1957, governed by a five-member Council, perpetually battling coastal erosion.
