Most of the undisturbed Ocean Shore Rwy right-of-way is south of @#$%& Slide. It curves through Montara, Moss Beach and there is a small section in El Granada. Half Moon Bay's Arleta Depot is still standing on the old RofW, and beyond Half Moon Bay the right of way is still there, albeit grown over in many places. North of @#$%& Slide I believe part of the old RofW is visible along Rockaway Beach towards Vallemar. Most of the RofW along the ocean has fallen in the sea.
