Half Moon Bay is situated along a scenic stretch of SR 1 that extends from San Francisco south to San Luis Obispo. The rugged coastline is bordered by sandy beaches perfect for walking and beachcombing. This is a popular launching spot for sightseeing, fishing and whale-watching cruises.

The Half Moon Bay Farmers Market sets up at Shoreline Station, 225 Cabrillo Hwy. S., Saturdays 9-1 from May through December. This small farmers market specializes in seasonal organic produce grown by local farmers. You can also shop for honey, cheeses, fresh fish, artisanal bread and homemade baked goods. Half Moon Bay is known for its wholesale plant nurseries, and the stands displaying beautiful bunches of cut flowers attest to that fact.
