Half Moon Bay California

At the north edge of Half Moon Bay is the famous big wave surf area, Mavericks, off Pillar Point, where pro surfers challenge waves over 50 feet and one Professional Surfer, Mark Foo, died.

Montara Mountain, located North of Half Moon Bay, is a popular outdoor recreation spot, and home to the old Highway 1. Visitors to the Harbor have the chance to purchase freshly caught sea food straight off the boat. Check with the ranger station at the start of the pier for that day's catch.

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, located just North of Half Moon Bay past the small airport, is a natural refuge for plants and animals adapted to live at the edge of the ocean. Home to tidepools that feature some of the amazing sea life of the northern California coast, it is open to the public as well as guided tours.
