Phillip Burton Memorial Beach, Coastal beach in San Mateo County, United States.
The beach stretches along the California coastline at the foot of large open hillsides, adjacent to the Olympic Club Golf Course between Thornton State Beach and Fort Funston.
The beach received its name in recognition of Congressman Phillip Burton's efforts during the 1970s to establish the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The beach represents a meeting point for outdoor activities, with dedicated paths connecting local horse stables through an equestrian trail to the shoreline.
Visitors can access the beach by walking south along the sand from Fort Funston Beach, as erosion has affected the direct access trails.
The beach features a deep cave for exploration and wooden posts that emerge from the sand during low tide, creating opportunities for sunset photography.
