    Foggy start of the walk and clear when finished sorry to the beloved Chit Chat cafe at the pier that got demolished. A bit of road closer and construction. It's still a great easy walk. People fishing. Dogs.

    Highly recommend this beautiful trail. Gorgeous views. Easy and try to go all the way to the top. Got lucky the day I came as it was beautiful sunny day. Some spots were a bit muddy from the recent rain but so worth it. It wasn't too busy but plenty of hikers runners and very pet friendly.

    It was a pleasant and easy hike by the coast. It is not too crowded. However, the trail appears more eroded each time I go. The trees around are a spectacle and the coast is gorgeous. Can see beautiful, invasive weeds near the end of winter

    Love hiking this scenic trail! There are so many paths you can take to tailor it to your own comfort level and goals, but I highly recommend going all the way to the top if you can- the views are incredible every time! Only thing is definitely wear hiking shoes with good grip because there's a decent amount of loose gravel which makes generic exercise shoes slip. If you're going after heavy rains the bottom creek could be flooded and challenging to cross.

    This was a great place to take a long walk. We did the mostly flat, easy walk out to the ocean. We walked approx 45 minutes out & then back. Its clean, folks are friendly. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful hike with gorgeous views. Lots of uphill and downhill,must wear proper shoes to not slide down. Somewhat child and dog friendly but for kids I would say 7 years old and up unless they are avid hikers. Lovely views. Came today around 1pm and hiked until almost 3pm and went down to the beach after the point by the steps. Weather was sunny with patches of clouds here and there and some wind but felt comfortable and warm with short sleeves.

    This stunning walking trail begins with numerous gorgeous memorial gardens. The gardens are beautifully maintained and house amazing tributes. The path goes up to (what I'm sure is) a spectacular ocean view. I opted for the easier route and did not go up the steep looking hill and was rewarded with all incredible ocean view as well. Plus we walked around some of the little town nearby. It was idyllic and the weather was perfect.

    The most amazing part about Mori Point is that the entrance is tucked right inside a residential neighborhood. After parking, you're surrounded by quiet houses and local streets, and nothing really hints at what's coming. That contrast is what makes the experience so special. As you walk up the trail, the view slowly opens up. Before long, the entire Pacific Ocean comes into view. On a clear day, you can see layers of blue stretching all the way to the horizon. Turn around, and you get a full panoramic view of Pacifica--the city spreading across the hills, blending seamlessly with the coastline. Standing at the top, ocean on one side and city on the other, the perspective is truly unique. The trail itself is fairly easy, mostly a gentle incline. It's not a hardcore hike, but more of a relaxed walk where you naturally stop often just to take it all in. The ocean breeze can be strong, but it's refreshing rather than harsh. Walking near the cliffs and watching waves crash against the rocks has a calming effect that makes your mind slow down. What I personally love most is how open everything feels. There aren't many tall trees blocking the view, so the sky, ocean, and city are all laid out clearly in front of you. Every few steps feels photo-worthy, not because you're tired, but because the scenery keeps pulling you in. The only downside is parking. There's basically no real parking lot, so you'll need to rely on street parking in the surrounding neighborhood and walk a bit to the trail entrance. Weekends can be tight, but the short walk feels like a nice transition into the experience.

    Fun place to explore in Pacifica! Great views from above the cliffs. Connects to walking path to the pier.

    Beautiful trail in Pacifica! There is a small parking lot by the trailhead, but you also can park at the Rockaway Beach lot. We went around 11:30am on a Saturday in May and it was somewhat busy. Weather was a little overcast and windy but manageable. The hike itself is straightforward, more on the easy-moderate side. There is some incline at the start of the trail going up to the point, and then it gets easier after that. There were some trail markers but easy to get lost and we accidentally deviated from the trail at the start so I recommend following a map. The last portion of the hike is along highway 1. Hiking shoes not necessary but would recommend. We really liked how the hike takes you along the coast! It goes right by the ocean and the trail passes by a few beaches. There were still some pretty wildflowers along the path. I would definitely come back, especially when the flowers are blooming in spring time!

    Had a lovely little stroll along the coast and got to see beautiful wildflower at Mori Point. The entire hike was relaxing and so pretty. There's a staircase that leads up to the highest vista point for a breathtaking view of the ocean and field of wildflowers. There are purple lupines and some yellow daisy like flowers which I wish I knew the name to. There are some orange poppies mixed in as well. Absolutely enjoyable walk with the sea breeze and little bit of sunshine. We lucked out and got a sunny day today but not hot at all.

    One of my favorite easy hikes in the peninsula. It's so beautiful and there is a part that gets steeper and uphill but it's not difficult at all. Beautiful views once you get to the top

    Was pleasantly surprised by the pink flowers that I spotted on this beautiful trail along the pacifica coast. This is a very doable trail with no technical difficulties in my opinion with most spectacular views of the ocean along your way!! This is going to be my goto trail as it is so close to my home:yay:

    Ask the Community - Mori Point

    Can you do a bonfire?

    Fires are not allowed on National Park Service land at Mori Point.

    Is this a strictly on leash hiking spot?

    Park regulations require pets to be on leash on all trails within the boundaries of Golden Gate National Recreation Area at Mori Point.

    Anyone know how far is it from the parking lot to the swing? Thank you!

    I used google maps and started at Mori Point parking lot (limited spaces but there's some street parking). Follow the signs that say Old Mori Road and it'll be at the end of that trail (about a 10-15 min walk, less than half a mile).

    Which trail leads to the beach?

    Take the Old Mori Point trail. This trail more direct to the beach (Sea Wall). You can take the long stairs up to the Point.

    Can the remote trails be hiked during shelter-in-place?

    Yes if social distancing is practiced

    What's parking like here? I'm meeting two other friends there for a hike and just wondering if there's ample parking

    The official parking lot is very small, holds about 5-6 cars maybe. I've parked up around the corner or on the street in the neighborhood before arriving to the parking lot area.

    Do they allow dogs?

    Dogs are allowed if on a leash.

There is a sharp incline, then decline back down with views of the water. My wife and I were able to bring our baby in the stroller, but it was a challenge at times. We turned around once we got to the really windy part, because we were worried about it being too much for the baby in the stroller, even with the cover up. If you're going to Pacifica on a Spring or Summer day, this is the perfect place to stop by. I went on a weekday, in the middle of the day and was able to find a park spot easily. I'm thinking on the weekend the lot gets filled up quickly, so I'd recommend getting there early.

I didn't count the spaces, but I'd guess there are maybe 15-20, including a small unmarked parking area just before you get to the main lot. The walk starts with about five minutes of a slight uphill climb before you start heading downhill toward the south parking lot. It's about 1.3 miles each way. Once you get past that first little climb, the rest of the walk is pretty easy and right along the water with some great views. One of the coolest parts is that you're actually walking along the old Highway 1. Once you reach the south parking lot, which looked like it had around 25-30 spaces, you can see the Devil's Slide bunker up on the hill. It's another 10-minute walk or so if you want to go check it out. Parking is really the only downside. Both the north and south lots are pretty small, and there aren't many other options nearby. If they're full, you can continue south on Highway 1 for about a mile to Gray Whale Cove, where there's additional parking. Overall, it's a really nice walk. Not difficult, great ocean views almost the entire way, and walking along the old highway makes it a little more interesting than your typical coastal trail.

On the way up you can see views of the San Andreas Reservoir Lake. After the rain you can hear the water flowing and see some little streams and wild mushrooms. To the ridge is a little under 2 miles. I like the fact there is a small bathroom which I find quite rare on trails like this. To the left is the San Francisco Discovery Site which has a plaque with some information. Apparently, this was the place the Spanish settlers first saw the San Francisco Bay. To the right the trail goes along the ridge to the remains of the old Nike missile site. The views are stellar, and one can see for miles on end, Marin, the city, Pacifica Mount Diablo, etc. I love watching all the planes coming in and out from nearby SFO.

It was foggy, cold, and incredibly windy during my visit last week, and of course, there's an incline as the trail wraps around the mountain. But it wasn't too bad, the actual climb up didn't feel as difficult as it looked from a distance, starting with the sneath lane trail then connecting to other trails higher up. In fact, there are many options for different trails to take. The Baquiano Trail had a dirt pathway while the Notch Trail toward the Nike Missile Control Site was paved. Near the SF Bay Discovery Site, there's a small restroom building (it was pretty clean for a park facility, on a Thursday afternoon). The gorgeous foliage lining the various paths was captivating, along with lovely views of the hills, lake (san andreas reservoir), and sunlit scenery in the distance. Too foggy to enjoy the views the higher you get though, just a giant cloud of fog everywhere. I barely made it three miles out before turning back. It was just far too windy and foggy to wanna be out there very long (I'm sure hot days would be even worse with zero shade to be found). Plus my legs definitely had a workout from the uphill trek. Luckily the jog back down was a breeze. And I did slow down to appreciate the vegetation and vast array of plant species, once again, before leaving.

Yelpers have mentioned the trail to the waterfall starts where Westline Dr. and Skyline Dr. meet. From here it's fairly intuitive on where to go. I felt the trail down to the falls seemed too steep to attempt so I opted out. I'm not sure if it was better a few years ago but when I went it felt dangerous and easy to lose footing. I wouldn't recommend this part for someone hiking alone, with kids, or with inexperienced hikers. The trail continues in the other direction along Westline Avenue with views of the ocean. If you continue you can see the top of the waterfall from here. You have to walk a little off the main trail in the ice plant but it's worth it if you want to see the falls. Another way is you can see this waterfall is by walking from Esplanade Beach. From the top of the stairs there the waterfall is about .6 miles. It's so much easier to get to this way and it's a nice beach walk. From here you can't see the waterfall as clear because there is a lot of debris in the way. In this sense it's almost a better view from above. The waterfall comes out of a storm drain which isn't as nice and only flows after a big rain. I wouldn't come out of my way to see this waterfall. But I think it's worth coming to see if you are already at Esplanade Beach or live in the neighborhood and are walking the trail alongside Westline Dr. From the start point to the beach and back it's about a 3.4 mile hike.

Someone with a nice camera lens might be able to get a good close up but otherwise in photos it looks very far away. For a waterfall hike where you can get up close, I'd go to Marin.

I can't believe I've never reviewed this place, as I used to visit at least several times a month when I lived here in P-Town.

The Meh: *No dogs *Most of the trails were in pretty good shape, but a few of them were a little rough-and-ready--so wear good ankle supports! The Ugly: *There's a waterfall (Brooks Falls)along Brooks Creek Trail but unless it's rained recently, it won't even be a trickle. *Parking lot requires a paymentof $6, which is whatever I'm happy to contribute, but it's cash only in the envelope kinda deal.

My dogs love running around, and it's a great way for all of us to enjoy some outdoor time together. One thing to be aware of is the parking situation.

A get together there would be so fun!! Huge parking lot -- you can start hiking a few different trails from it, and they do look beautiful based on the photos from other Yelpers. Never busy on weekdays btw. I sadly saw so much trash strewn about around the beach entrance and under the stairs in the form of beer cans, chip bags, and even a Target bag. You know where you parked your car? Yeah, there are actually trash cans, big ones, right there in that parking lot.. like 500ft from where you threw your trash away. Don't be an inconsiderate asshole. I love eating and drinking at the beach, responsibly, but pack up what you bring in. Classless people.

    Wow - finding places like this really inspire me to find new trails and hikes in the Bay Area…read more The views along the coastal bluffs were just so breathtaking . The trails are family friendly - mild incline, wide and safe. That being said , we had a blast climbing down the rocky cliff to go down to the small beach . I'm not an expert on tides and sea life - but when we went there were just shelves and shelves of mussels that people were picking into buckets . We also saw tons of juicy sea anemones . Another stranger showed us all the crabs he had fished out ! Super fun spot for a lovely beautiful easy (but possibly chilly) walk or adventure on the mini beach ! Dog friendly !

    This is less of a park and more of hiking/waking trails but there are a few picnic benches in the…read moreparking lot that overlook the ocean. There's a decent amount of parking in the lot, much better space than nearby Thornton Beach and parking along the street coming in. I like this hike because it's not too long or not too short. The ocean is always in the background and it's a nice ocean walk without having to get sand in your shoes from the beach. I think there is a technical way to get down to the beach, but you have to climb down numerous rocks, and it didn't seem the safest. The southernmost end where you are at the actual Mussel Rock seemed a bit easier and there was a cool looking beach cave, but this would only be possible to get there in low tide. The walk is a little over 2 miles. If I wanted to go for a walk along a beach or go on a serious hike there are better places in Pacifica for that but I like it here to just get out for a walk and see the ocean.
