Devils Slide Beach, Pacific coast beach in San Mateo County, United States.
The beach stretches along a steep cliff face where rock formations emerge directly from the Pacific Ocean waters along the California coast.
The coastal road California State Route 1 was built above this area in 1936, replacing the narrow and winding Pedro Mountain Road.
The location forms part of the California Coastal Trail, which will connect Oregon to Mexico through 1,200 miles of coastal landscapes.
Visitors have access to essential facilities including water fountains, bicycle racks, public restrooms, and pet waste collection stations.
During World War II, the promontory contained a military triangulation station with six structures for San Francisco harbor defense operations.
