Pacifica CA 60 Years Of Ongoing Cliff Erosion But Still Beautiful Daly City San Andreas Fault
Daly City, San Bruno, and Pacifica, California, are situated above the San Andreas Earthquake Fault. The ocean-bound cliffs of Daly City and Pacifica have been eroding since long before the West Coast cities were built, but the changes have been dramatic in the last 25 years. As a former resident of the V-shaped Surfside Apartments (now the Bluffs at 360 Esplanade Ave.), land that I once walked on and filmed from has disappeared into the Pacific Ocean below. Sadly for the people who lived here, several apartment buildings and homes have been lost as well. The battle of the elements is far from over. Much of Pacifica, like other coastal communities, has no defense against tsunamis either.

I remember going to Pacifica and Alameda beach when I was a little kid growing up in California in the 60s. I remember Half Moon Bay with its cold dark waters as well. Gosh I miss those summers as a kid in the Golden State.

Mother Nature is a force no one can control, but I don't like when she kills people. That part is sad.
I built the home on the corner of beach blvd and clarendon. According to all the locals there used to be a whole row of motels just across beach where there is just a beach now
