The U.S. Coast Guard successfully rescued a hiker stranded off a beachside Peninsula cliff during the dead of night.
The hiker, 24, contacted Coast Guard Sector San Francisco watchstanders at 4:25 a.m. and told them he was “stuck” on Mussel Rock Beach, along the Daly City coastline, “with no way back up the cliff,” officials said in a release. The Coast Guard dispatched an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew to the scene. A San Mateo County Fire crew also arrived but could not assist the operation “due to the steep terrain."
