Half Moon Bay State Beach — Attraction in Half Moon Bay

Beautiful beach and coast walk.

Parking is 10 dollars per car and 9 dollars for seniors. There are various options for buying annual or seasonal parking passes - worth investigating.

The beach is rugged and the waves get big. Don't turn your back on the ocean. People are swept away on this coast every year. Sneaker waves are very real and very dangerous.

The coast walk is shared between bicyclists and pedestrians. Class 1 electric bikes are allowed. Please be mindful of seniors, people with disabilities, deaf people, young kids, people walking dogs as you go round curves and corners. Treat others as you want to be treated.

The dirt path separated by a small fence from the paved path is used by horse back riders.

There are bathrooms along the coast walk and picnic tables sometimes, too. Access to the beach at various points.

Leave no trace. Pick up your trash and consider picking up trash others leave behind.

Enjoy, share, and protect this...

Overall a very peaceful and relaxing place, just bring your own food ,...
