About the Linda Mar State Beach in Pacifica:
Also known as Pacifica State Beach, Linda Mar is a wide crescent-shaped beach favored as a local surfing spot and one of the most loved and used beaches in Pacifica by residents and visitors alike.  Located adjacent to Highway 1, it features a coastal trail stretching along the beachfront to enjoy from one end to the other and is a critical habitat for the threatened Western Snowy Plover. In addition to beach cleanups, it is the site of native habitat restoration events providing hands-on learning experiences for participants.

Site Captains: Jim, Ana, Annabelle, Alberto
Teen Site Captains: MJ, Charlie, Keaton, Ella, Dylan, Juliet, Shea

About the Cleanup:
Time: Saturday from 9am-11am. Super heavy torrential rain may cancel cleanup.
Where to Meet: At the southern end of the main parking lot (near Taco Bell).
Parking: Fee to park. When you check in, site captains will provide a parking pass good for use during your participation in the cleanup. Should you stay beyond cleanup hours, fees apply. The daily fee to park one vehicle in the lots is $7 for a period of less than 4 hours and $9 for a period of more than 4 hours (or all day). Paid parking in Lots A & B is enforced daily from 8am to 8pm.
