Pedro Point Headlands - Hiking area in Pacifica - Old Pacific Coast Highway Trail, USA

Parked in the Devil’s Slide north parking lot on a sunny weekday morning. Plenty of open spaces. Walk back toward Pacifica (north) and connect to the trailhead for Pedro Point Headlands. Trails are marked but steep in sections. Strongly recommend hiking shoes (and poles if you have them). I enjoyed a peaceful hike with spectacular views! Passed a handful of people along the way. I explored a variety of the trails in that area, including South Ridge, Bluff, Middle Ridge, and a section of Arroyo. Time permitting, you can “cool down” with waking the Devil’s Slide road (out and back).

Park is on the side of North Devil's Slide trail parking lot, and space is VERY limited (no more than 20 spaces). The trail is not that long but has some very steep inclines. Great view from the top, strong cold winds.

Amazing hike and spectacular views! I parked near entrance to devils slide parking lot. Made my way up the headlands trail and it was a good workout up and back. Well worth the hike down to the Pedro point but bring hiking shoes with good grip or u might slide down the hill unexpectedly. Still looking for a way to get to the sea caves🤷🏼‍♀️ pictures are in sequential order of climbing the trail.

Beautiful hiking area with so many trail options nearby. Very moderate effort level and most fit people will be able to tackle this no problem. Many options so be sure to check out the trail map but the loop is the most common and you can park in the community to the north.

Great little costal trail, you get some elevation so you feel you are doing some exercise! The views are great and it was full of wild flowers! There isn’t any sign to the trail, so if we weren’t using this app, we could not find it at all! It was very quite and we saw only a couple of people there!

Never knew about this place, super view and easy to get to. Nearby parking where you can also access Devil's Slide. Great open space, if you're brave enough to hike down close to the point good for you. There's a native plant nursery on the way up. Multiple access trails, all well maintained

Short hike but great workout! Park at Devils Slide north parking area and there are very clean restrooms. Walk back towards Hwy 1 but stay to the far left on the paved bike path and it will lead you to the trailhead. Clockwise path is steep at first but a nice wide path and leads to breathtaking views, counterclockwise path is narrow single track with lots of poison oak, but views of Pacifica Beach. It’s exactly 1.5 mi from the north parking area to the scenic point on the bluff. Very fun hike and hardly anyone on the trail. North parking area is small so arrive early. I arrived at 9am on a Tuesday and the lot was about half filled. Parking is free.

Short hike with the breathtaking view of Pacific. There are two trails to reach Pedro Point. One is S Ridge Trail and another is Arroyo Trail. S Ridge trail is steep but safe. As Arroyo trail seems like less traveled because there are poison oaks and dangling roots all the way.
