Neighborhood

The beautiful and secluded community of Half Moon Bay on the San Francisco Peninsula features a combination of casual, beachy homes, many with ocean views, and small apartment complexes. The neighborhood features an eclectic mix of residents that includes artists, many of whom show their wares in the various art galleries in town. Surfers are drawn to the legendary waves at the Mavericks surf break, some of which can top 50 feet.

The natural beauty of Half Moon Bay attracts tourists to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which also serves as the city's largest employer and a welcoming special occasion destination for locals. The city's many beaches give residents an outlet for activity or meditation, and the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve hosts some of the best tide pools found in California.
