Top landmarks in Half Moon Bay

So I tend to see a lot of sunsets as you might find out... my favorite part is seeing how the textures and colors evolve and shift in the sky as the light perspective changes. I loved watching the Sand Pipers dance with the waves as they came in. That's Half Moon Bay in the distance and the world famous surf spot, Mavericks, just to the left of the headland.

Miramar Beach

If being by the water is a major draw, Miramar Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 2.5 mi (4.1 km) from central Half Moon Bay. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Naples Beach, Vallejo Beach, and Roosevelt Beach, all 3 within a short walk.
