Coastal trail walking and biking!

Half Moon Bay Coast side Trail & Bluff Top Trail

95 Kelly Avenue, Half Moon Bay, CA  (650) 726-8819

The Half Moon Bay Coast side Trail stretches from Half Moon Bay State Park to Miramar -- totaling nearly 6 miles.  With its well paved path, the bluff top trail is a great multiuse course for walkers, joggers, strollers and bike riders. A horse trail parallels the Coast side Trail from Roosevelt Beach to Francis Beach and connects with the Bluff Top Trail that parallels the Beach. The green space along the trail between the Half Moon Bay State Beach and the Bluff Top Park (Poplar Beach) is ideal for bird watching.  Large hawks often sit on the split rail fence and park benches -- sometimes allowing visitors to come within 6 feet of them. Find a bench after a nice walk or bikeride and watch a spectacular sunset!

Some Beaches in Half Moon Bay!

Beaches half moon bay

Half moon bay is a business and recreational city found in California. The crescent of the town is formed by a four mile beach on the Pacific Ocean. The beaches stretch from north to south and include Francis Beach, Elmer Beach, Dunes Beach, Naples Beach, Venice Beach, Miramar Beach, Vallejo Beach and El Granada Beach. People access the beaches using highway 1. Most of the Half Moon Beaches are unpredictable due to the constantly changing weather.  They have bottom contours that change constantly due to the prevailing conditions. When the weather is good, the waves swell to between small and mid-size. This happens when the winds are glassy and offshore. Prevailing weather conditions determine whether the beaches are used for some purposes.

Half Moon Bay is the place which is situated 23 miles southwest of the San Francisco International Airport, The Ritz-Carlton and Half Moon Bay provides a magnificent backdrop for the perfect Northern California coast vacation. Whether you can surf better from other places. Various kinds of facilities and I think it’s a perfect and attractive place to the worlds surfer. At the north edge of the bay is the big wave surf area, Mavericks, off Pillar Point, where surfers challenge waves over 50 feet (15m). Mavericks is a winter destination for some of the world's best big wave surfers. Mavericks is a best surfing location in Northern California in USA. It is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) from shore in Pillar Point Harbor just north of Half Moon Bay at the village of Princeton-By-The-Sea. After a strong winter storm in the northern Pacific Ocean, waves can routinely crest at over 25 feet (8m) and top out at over 50 feet (15m). On the other hand can occur the big hazards like a big wave wipeout, a breaking wave can push surfers down 20 to 50 feet (6.2 m to 15.5 m) below the surface. In every season various surfing competition are held here in the Half Moon Bay coast when the big waves come in winter, and late every year, an official waiting period for the Mavericks Surf Contest begins. Here some conditions are right, but this contest has an interesting twist. No one knows when it will be held until just 24 hours before it starts. get a telephone call telling them when the Mavericks Surf Contest will begin. They have 24 hours to get there. That's all the time you'll have to prepare. Many worlds famous surfer are surfing in Half Moon Bay from long since like   Laird Hamilton, Eddie Aikau, Ken Bradshaw ,  and Jeff Clark.

Most people go relax, and have fun and refresh their memories. There are several activities that take place; some of them are included below:

Free Activities at the beach with your family: Be creative!

Making footprints in the sand with your children and even making castles on the shores. This is done by collecting sand and mixing it with fresh water not salty water until it is damning enough and can hold the shape of the container being used. You can also collect shells, pebbles and sea weeds and impresses them on the sand in order to make pictures on the beach, you can also look for a string and make a necklace!

Beach volleyball is also a popular beach activity and brings together both the older children and the young adults. With enough space one can improvise the net by using the available resources e.g.picnic baskets or windbreaks. The splash game is also a family fun game but not recommended for the faint-hearted, this game is best played at the beach were clothes don't really matter at all. It is perfect for the mixed family age-groups. The people who want to take part should be a good sport person in order for it to be hilarious, nevertheless they should be a life saver just in case of an accident

Another activity is by challenging the family to Frisbee golf. Make your own version of a golf course on the sand and then let the members take turns to complete the holes. Whoever completes the first and has the highest scores will then be awarded a price followed by the fist runners up and the second runners up.

Ketch Joannes Dining!

Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Ketch Joannes Restaurant, Half Moon Bay, Ca
Located at 17 Johnson Pier in the Harbor of Half Moon Bay Ketch Joannes is a great, casual place to dine, while on the coast. The Half Moon Bay Harbor is the only commercial fishery in San Mateo County giving "The Ketch" access to the freshest seafood. Half Moon Bay has many great places to dine, but if you want bang for your buck this is your stop. This is a dive restaurant whos atmosphere is not necessarily upscale, fancy, or elegant; but the food is. This is where the local fisherman eat in the morning before going out on their hard days work. I mean what is cooler than eating at a place excellent where all the rugged fisherman eat at. Breakfast, lunch, and diner are all great to eat here because 1. you know what you are getting. 2. you will always leave full. 3. the staff is friendly. 4. the food is great. My top favorites at Ketch Joannes have to be 1. the GRILLED crab melt sandwich- this is the best tasting sandwich in the whole bay area. 2. grilled rock cod with the teriyakiglaze-mmmmmm mmmm good. 3. The clam chowder- Only the Boston white, it is full of a seafood combination that is thick and creamy. 4 Fried Calamari/ Artichoke hearts- cooked to perfection. 5. blueberry pancakes- ihop has nothing on them. and my last recommendation and personnel favorite has to be the linguica omelet w/ cheddar cheese and home fries- More meat than eggs and potatoes. This is Michael Seaton with Realty Consulting Group Giving my opinion on one of Half Moon Bay's Finest Dining places due to its quality of food and great atmosphere. Check it out for yourself and prove me wrong I dare you!!!!
