A quaint Bay Area enclave by the sea
Spend a morning riding the waves off Pacifica State Beach or enjoy an afternoon trekking the trails of Montara Mountain and one might just feel like they’ve been dropped right into an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. That’s the type of environment Linda Mar provides, a Pacifica neighborhood that blends prime access to recreational attractions with peaceful residential solitude. Streets all around Linda Mar offer views of the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains, and the neighborhood’s weather is known to provide a pleasant setting for outdoor adventures, with less fog than some other pockets of town. “It’s the sunniest neighborhood in Pacifica,” says Realtor and Pacifica resident Teresa Hoskins of Keller Williams Advisors.

Homes dominate the landscape
Between the beachfront on the west and the trails to the east, Linda Mar is primarily residential. The area’s winding streets are speckled with a collection of houses that were mostly built in the mid-20th century. A lot of Linda Mar’s homes are single-story bungalows and ranch-style options, but there are also quite a few split-level houses here as well. Sidewalks line most of Linda Mar’s streets, making it easy to go for a stroll to soak in views of the mountains or the coast. “There’s a lot of houses where you’ll have really gorgeous ocean views,” Hoskins says. Single-family homes in Linda Mar often sell for prices between $1.2 million and $2 million depending on size and condition.

Linda Mar Center is a convenient asset
Linda Mar may be mostly residential, but residents still have close access to retail amenities thanks to the Linda Mar Center here, a 168,000-square-foot space that’s anchored by a Safeway supermarket.
Soul Grind Coffee is a well-liked eatery in the neighborhood, whose location close to the beach makes it a popular pick for a sandwich and coffee after a surf session. Another hotspot by the beach is Taco Bell — but this isn’t your typical Taco Bell. This Taco Bell is housed in a charming, wooden surf shack-style building with a patio facing the water. The location is so distinct that it went viral in a 2020 TikTok and has been called the nicest and most beautiful Taco Bell in the world. It’s a major draw to the area, Hoskins says, contributing to area traffic on the weekends.

Hit the beach or hit the trails
One of Linda Mar’s crown jewels is Pacific State Beach, which is three-quarters of a mile long and within reasonable walking distance for many. Pacifica State Beach is frequented by surfers. In fact, the waves by this beach are known to be gentler, making this spot ideal for beginners. Those looking to ride some concrete waves can hop over to Pacifica Skatepark behind the beach, across Cabrillo Highway.
More fun on land can be found by traversing the almost 3-mile Rockaway Point Trail, which begins at Pacifica State Beach and runs up toward Rockaway Beach. To the west, hikers can find more to explore with spots like the Montara Mountain Trail, which traces through eucalyptus trees, coastal scrub and groves.
