Downtown Half Moon Bay

Shopping

When you shop the Coastside, you enjoy an enchanting, small-town setting brimming with unique independent shops. From chic contemporary boutiques to a delightful 100-year-old farm supply emporium with live bunnies, you’ll enjoy a wide variety of locally-owned stores.

Half Moon Bay’s historic downtown, the waterfront hamlet of Princeton-by-the-Sea, and the rural town of Pescadero each offer a walkable thoroughfare chock-a-block with charming storefronts. Browse locally produced coastal decor and rustic furnishings at a home goods shop, boost your kitchen cred with striking hand-crafted La Chamba cookware from a specialty kitchenware store, and treat the kids to a marine-themed store that is one part gift shop, one part cabinet of curiosities. And before heading to the beach for a waterfront picnic, fill your basket with yummy edibles from a charming general store and wine and cheese shop.

Don’t forget the flowers and foliage that made us famous! Throughout the Coastside, you’ll find a variety of nurseries where you can purchase beautiful, locally grown plants and flowers at affordable prices.
