The town is rich in local history, culture, and art. Main Street is a classic and unaffected collection of small stores, boutiques, businesses, galleries, and restaurants. Main Street also hosts the unique and well-attended Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival in mid-October, celebrating its rich agricultural history.
Living in Half Moon Bay means that you can appreciate the beauty of the Coastside by simply stepping outside your door. It is steps, minutes, or a few miles away from beaches on the Pacific Ocean, walking and biking paths along the bluffs, hiking trails through magnificent redwood forests, or a cozy cup of coffee at a neighborhood café.
