Half Moon Bay

Just 6 miles to the south, Half Moon Bay is a quiet, charming farming town. Main Street boasts a feed store, a variety of country shops, art galleries and fine restaurants. The third Saturday of every summer month a colorful flower market is held at the center of town, during winter the market moves indoors to La Piazza. For more antique and art shops, head a few miles east on Hwy 92 to Spanishtown.

California Seals

Enjoy watching the seals at Seal Cove Beach, just over the bluffs from the inn. There are often eight to ten seals fishing in the water. At low tide, the exposed rocks at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve are a favorite place for lounging.

Princeton Harbor

Princeton is the picturesque harbor just two miles to the south following the airport road. It is fun to explore the harbor and observe the boats as they return with their morning's bounty. Fish can be purchased directly from the fishermen, or if you would rather someone else do the cooking, Princeton has some excellent restaurants known for their fish.

Horseback Riding

Half Moon Bay is probably one of the last places where you can ride horses on the beach unescorted. Pony rides for children, beach, trail, sunset rides and guided tours are available at Sea Horse and Friendly Acres Ranch.
