Spotlight : Half Moon Bay
The Half Moon Bay Coastside is a rural
seaside community about 30 miles south of
San Francisco, and only an hour’s drive from
virtually anywhere in the Bay Area. This quaint
ocean community boasts numerous bed and breakfasts,
several motels and some world-renowned
hotels including the Ritz Carlton. Local activities
include two award-winning golf courses, sport fishing,
whale watching, horseback riding on the
beach, a historical Main Street with unique shops,
two wineries, redwood preserves, a marine reserve,
bird refuges, bluff and mountain top hiking, acres
of hot houses and field flowers, historical walking
tours, two lighthouses, Ano Nuevo State Nature
Preserve (south of Pescadero), Fitzgerald Marine
Reserve in Montara, Princeton Harbor and Mavericks,
presently the hottest surfing location in the
world. The Half Moon Bay Coastside also boasts
the only broad-based ecotourism program in the
state of California.
Half Moon Bay’s lodging facilities and conference
centers offer a relaxed atmosphere to take
you miles from home or business, while providing
numerous choices for a successful day of
planning, education, retreat or a personal relaxing
stay. Because of the proximity to San Francisco
and San Jose, the Half Moon Bay Coast is a sensible
and enjoyable conference destination. Many
beautiful and carefully appointed facilities await—
whether you are planning for a group of 5 or 250,
a one-day event or a weeklong event—treat your
colleagues, employees and potential clients to a
taste of the coast!
Half Moon Bay is a small, quiet community,
meaning it’s an ideal location for corporate
retreats. Hold your retreat in a relaxed vacation
atmosphere far away from the hustle and bustle of
regular life, yet only 30 minutes from most Bay
Area companies and two major airports.
Half Moon Bay has it all, from famous
tide pools, to panoramic ocean views, to breathtaking
mountains. For more information, visit
