Surrounding Half Moon Bay's charming downtown are endless ways to get out and enjoy some fresh air and unadulterated California coastal terrain. A true outdoor wonderland, this quaint seaside town manages to offer virtually all of Northern California's earthy delights (not to mention those of the sea). You can hit the beach, hike or bike along hundreds of acres of pristine trails complete with famed California redwoods and wildlife, indulge in water sports, bird watch, go tide pooling, camp, or get some fresh sea air while playing a leisurely game of golf. Did we mention that they're minutes from each other, allowing visitors a smorgasboard of al fresco experiences with minimal travel time or effort?
