Half Moon Bay

Tucked along California’s Pacific coast, Half Moon Bay is a place whose character is shaped by ocean weather, broad beaches and the farms of the San Mateo County coast. South of the San Francisco Peninsula’s urban core, coastal bluffs meet fields growing flowers, vegetables and the pumpkins for which the area is known. Its historic downtown preserves late-19th- and early-20th-century commercial buildings, while nearby Pillar Point Harbor remains an active harbor. Just offshore at Mavericks, powerful winter swells have made the break internationally known among big-wave surfers. Each autumn, the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival reflects the town’s agricultural identity.
