In keeping with its motto “Vivir, Trabajar, Jugar” (Live, Work, Play), the City of Half Moon Bay offers a variety of attractions, stylish eateries, hotels, diverse neighborhoods and a variety of recreational activities-all set among the world-class natural wonders of the California coastline. Incorporated in 1959, the City is on the Pacific coast, approximately 25 miles south of San Francisco in the westernmost portion of San Mateo County.

The historic downtown is home to numerous shops, art galleries, restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and other businesses. Local beaches and parks can be accessed by pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians. The City and coastside are home to numerous nurseries and farms, many of which sell their products at roadside stands. The City’s Pumpkin Festival hosts hundreds of thousands of people interested in enjoying the panoramic vistas, fine cuisine, arts, crafts and genuine hospitality. With its charming community, caring neighbors and enjoyable activities, Half Moon Bay is definitely a great place to live, work and play.
