People who want a break from the hustle and bustle can relax and breathe in the fresh air in Pacifica. Surfers and kayakers gravitate towards Linda Mar. It is considered one of the best surfing locations and hosts the annual Marine Mammal Surf Festival and the World Dog Surfing Competition.

In Pacifica, you never get too hot or too cold, in true San Francisco fashion. You may need a sweater, but that beats having to endure cold winter months or extremely hot summers.

However, locals themselves also eagerly await the yearly events and festivals.
