I love to walk on West Cliff Drive. You can stop and watch the dogs having a great time, or the surfers catching a wave at Steamers Lane.
If you like artisan gifts you can shop this Saturday, October, 28th, 2023 or December 9th, 2023 at the West Cliff Outdoor Market in the lighthouse parking lot on West Cliff Drive. You will also find food trucks.
If you are looking for some unique gifts this is a great place to shop. I enjoyed browsing and talking to the artists. Admission is free and they will give out tokens to some lucky shoppers that can be used with the vendors!
The West Cliff Outdoor Market is open from 10 am to 5 pm (in December from 10 am to 4 pm), located in the lighthouse parking lot.
If you are into scenic shopping you should also check out the farmers market at the College of San Mateo.
Where do you park?
This is a good point! We usually park in the neighborhood north of Lighthouse Field State Beach. But parking has gotten tougher since part of West Cliff Drive was washed away in last year’s heavy rainfalls.
