CRAB SEASON IS ON!  Get ready to reel in some of the most amazing crabs you've ever tasted!

Bring your friends and family down for a day of fun and fantastic crabbing adventures! Let's kick off the season with a splash and make unforgettable memories by the sea.

The Pacifica pier is partially re-opened for the time being. In addition, the coast side has many awesome spots including Johnson Pier and others. Our San Mateo coastal waters are known for an abundance of Dungeness crabs this time of year. See you there!

On August 20th the Pacifica Democrats and Pacific Coast TV sponsored the Pacifica City Council Candidate's forum. 

The Pacifica Democrats has partnered with PCT locally to host candidate forums and educate local residents. 

Every election season, organizations across the county hold hundreds of candidate debates and forums to help voters learn about the candidates on their ballot. Watching a candidate forum is one of the best ways to prepare for casting your ballot. As a core feature of U.S. politics, candidate debates help citizens learn about candidates and issues. 

Please check out the above candidate forum and don't forget to cast your ballot on November 8th.

Stay tuned to this site for more local forums and debates.

On the occasion of PCT's 45th anniversary, we decided to check in with some of our students, users and community partners to see how we're doing.

Please consider becoming a member of Pacific Coast TV and get your voice heard or simply help us support others in the community. Thanks for watching!

The above video highlights Surf Camp Pacifica, a fabulous organization teaching kids the joy of surfing and the value of beach conservation.

This segment was produced by the interns of Pacific Coast TV as part of the show COAST LIFE, which explores the lure and lore of our fabulous coastside. The video actually won a coveted WAVE award from the Alliance For Community Media given for access video excellence. Enjoy!

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER DATED

DATED JANUARY 4rh 2024 (Pacifica, CA) –

The Pacifica Pier will be closed for 3 weeks from
January 5th, 2024, to January 26th, 2024.

On December 28, 2023, a combination of high tides and large waves damaged sections of
the Pacifica Municipal Pier’s west-facing deck and concrete railing. The City’s Public Works
Engineering Division and a structural engineering consultant assessed the damage and
determined the Pier is unsafe for users and visitors until a structural assessment can be
performed.

An expedited structural assessment of the Pier, development of the analysis, staff review, and
finalization of the assessment is expected to be completed by January 25, 2024. Following the
assessment, the City will determine if the Pier can be reopened.

Should you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the Department of Public Works
Engineering Division at (650) 738-3767 or email engineering@pacifica.gov. Thank you for your
cooperation, and your patience while the City works diligently to ensure the Pier is safe and
can continue to be an important public amenity.

COVID has no doubt affected many people here in San Mateo county as it has throughout the world. One of the major impacts that has gone mostly underreported is the isolation and social impact.

For this reason, PCT has undertaken a project called "COVID CHRONICLES" where we interview people in our county to determine how they are coping. The school pronciple interviewd here is the wife of one of our PCT members. She agreed to give us a peek into life at her school, post-COVID.

Since originally produced, this series has won a WAVE award for video excellence. For more COVID resources go to: http://pacificcoast.tv/resources
