Overview

Sharp Park Beach is a kitesurfing spot located in Pacifica, just south of San Francisco, California. This Pacific-exposed beach receives powerful open ocean swells and benefits from strong, regular northwest winds. The coastal setting with Pacifica's cliffs as a backdrop is spectacular. The spot is suited for advanced riders due to cold water, strong currents, and sometimes powerful conditions.
