A Meal with a View: Puerto 27, is a peruvian kitchen and pisco bar serving traditional Latin American dishes with a modern contemporary twist next door to the Pacifica Beach Hotel.

Off-Leash Fun: Although all four of Pacifica’s beaches are dog-friendly, the only one that is leash-free is Esplanade Beach. This beach is more remote and can be accessed via a trail/stairs on Esplanade Dr. Be sure to check the tides before going as the shore can be very narrow during high tide.
