Mori Point, Coastal park in Pacifica, United States
Mori Point is a coastal park in Pacifica, California, known for its grassy headlands and ocean views. The park features a network of trails that wind along the bluffs and down to a rocky shoreline, offering visitors a chance to explore the natural landscape.
In the early 1900s, the land was used for farming and later for a quarry. Over time, it was acquired for conservation and became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The name Mori Point comes from Stefano Mori, an Italian immigrant who once farmed the land. Today, locals and visitors walk the trails to watch whales and enjoy the open space, and the site is a favorite spot for photography.
Wear sturdy shoes for the uneven paths and bring layers, as the coastal fog can roll in quickly. The main trailhead is at the end of Mori Point Road, where you'll find a small parking area and signs to guide you.
The park is home to the endangered San Francisco garter snake, which lives in the wetlands near the coast. Visitors might also spot the red-legged frog in the same habitat.
