Princeton-by-the-Sea

Built around a small coastal settlement, Princeton-by-the-Sea grew into an unincorporated community on the Pacific shore of San Mateo County. It sits beside Pillar Point Harbor, a working harbor where commercial fishing boats share the water with recreational craft, while this coast forms the northern edge of Half Moon Bay. Offshore, the Mavericks surf break at Pillar Point is known internationally for powerful winter swells and has made this stretch of California coast important in big-wave surfing. The compact waterfront character remains closely tied to fishing, harbor life and the open Pacific.
