Lovely sites, snacks and shopping on weekday visit to Pacifica  

It may be breezy, but funky Pacifica has great oceanfront views, a wide variety of bakeries and stores, and even sometimes, sunny days. If you can take a midweek break, that’s a good time for a visit. With easy access to parking at both trailheads and taprooms, you’ll avoid the weekend scrum. 

On weekends, parking is a little harder to come by in this city of 40,000 people that’s 15 miles south of downtown San Francisco. But it’s worth the drive then, too.
