The Project

The California State Coastal Conservancy (SCC) launched the next phase of planning for the Pedro Point Headlands Coastal Trail in Pacifica, CA—an important step toward closing a longstanding gap in the California Coastal Trail, a 1,230-mile public trail system spanning from Oregon to Mexico. Currently in the Early Design Phase, SCC is aiming to gather local and broader interested perspectives and priorities.

This survey is expected to take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and closes on November 22, 2026 at 5:00PM. You can stop or skip questions at any time.
