Review:
Sam's Castle is one of Pacifica’s most famous landmarks. The castle, which was built in 1908, has an eccentric history of being a party palace, a brothel, a speakeasy, and a Coast Guard outpost. You’ll be able to see the odd array of furnishings and decor which accumulated there over the 50+ years in which Sam Mazza used the palace for his wild, renowned parties. Now managed by the Sam Mazza Foundation, visitors are able to go on a fun guided tour led by Bridget Oates, the author who wrote Sam’s Castle. The tour lasts 1½ hours and will take you room by room, giving you time to take in the fun facts and see all the oddities that make the castle unique.
