Sam's Castle

Sharp Park, Pacifica

"the place I put my junk" — Sam Mazza
"spirits do not arrive on schedule"
Avoid Mirador Terrace, use alternate route via Carmel

Built in 1908 as an earthquake-proof fortress, this eccentric castle holds a wild collection of Hollywood memorabilia and a century of Pacifica secrets. Docents in Edwardian dress guide you through 22 rooms stuffed with movie props, armor, and Sam Mazza's treasures from 20th Century Fox backlots.
