Mussel Rock Park is a nature preserve that encompasses several very large and active landslides along the San Mateo County coast. The massive landslide deposits mask the trace of the San Andreas Fault here, where it runs offshore into the Pacific Ocean beyond San Francisco's Golden Gate. The high bluff along the skyline has been a site of disaster for homeowners as the seacliff continues its natural collapse and retreat due to erosion and mass wasting.
