Phillip Burton Memorial Beach

Phillip Burton Memorial Beach sits at the foot of tall, eroding bluffs in Daly City, defined by a narrow strip of sand that stretches between the neighboring shorelines of Fort Funston and Thornton Beach. Rising directly above the beach is the private land of the Olympic Club golf course, which marks the boundary between San Francisco and San Mateo County. Visitors often recognize this remote stretch by the deep, narrow cave carved into the cliff face, which remains visible when the tide retreats.
