Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail Guide Details
 |
 |
Overview: Enjoy a walk or ride on a 6-mile paved trail from Pillar Point Harbor to Poplar Avenue in Half Moon Bay. All along the trail, paths lead to some of the best sandy State Beaches. Go as far as you'd like along the trail, and stop along the way when you feel like it. This area is great for running, walking, biking, beach lounging, horseback riding, camping, fishing, shopping, restaurants and more. For a true escape, stay in nearby bed & breakfasts that are right near the trail.
Tips:
The trail is free to use, but it can get crowded at times. Best times to visit are spring, fall and winter, as it's less crowded, and you're more likely to get sunny days. In summer, try visiting on a less-crowded weekday afternoon, as the fog often burns off by then. Be sure to wear sunscreen (even if it's foggy) and layered clothing, as the temperature can change often with fog and wind. Bring binoculars and your camera, and plan to stop for lunch at one of the restaurants along the way. Note that the route shown continues further north than the trail does, which is optional, and includes a few additional points of interest.
