Chamber of Commerce – Pacifica vs. Daly City/Colma

Definition of Chamber of Commerce: An association of business people to promote commercial and industrial interests in the community (Merriam-Webster).

In the past 8 years Pacifica Chamber of Commerce has transitioned to accommodate the City Council economic plan for this city: recreation. If you're laughing you should be crying, this is not a joke-- the economic plan for Pacifica is "recreation". Compare the Chamber of Commerce website information in Pacifica with that of our our neighbor, Daly City. In their own words.....


Pacifica. The most beautiful coastal town in the San Francisco Bay area. Pacifica is famous for coastal scenery, friendly residents and merchants, protected hillsides, excellent restaurants, and beachfront hotels.

Top 10 things to see and do: 1) Alcatraz the Prison, 2) Digital National Park Project, 3) Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, 4) Golden Gate Bridge, 5) Hearst Castle, 6) Linda Mar Beach, 7) McNee Ranch State Park, 8) Milagra Ridge, 9) Monterey Bay Aquarium and 10) Whale Watching.
