Half Moon Bay

A relaxed coastal community, Half Moon Bay is surrounded by forested areas, small farms, and rolling hills. Half Moon Bay is one of the top day trips from San Francisco and a well-liked weekend destination for nature lovers due to its unspoiled sandy beaches and picturesque hiking trails.

Nature walks to admire the powerful waves and take in the refreshing ocean air are inspired by the stunning coastline at Half Moon Bay State Beach. Picnics and sunset viewing are both excellent activities at this wide, four-mile-long sandy beach. Visitors are enticed to stay by Half Moon Bay's small downtown. Locally owned cafés, a few top-notch eateries, and adorable neighborhood boutiques are dotted along Main Street. The Half Moon Bay Inn, a 1932-built historical hotel on Main Street, is a perfect example of Spanish Revival architecture with its exquisite wall frescoes and bright interior courtyard.
