Half Moon Bay
Half Moon Bay is a Pacific Ocean bay on the coast of San Mateo County, California. The bay gets its name from its approximately semi-circular shape. Half Moon Bay is perhaps best known for Mavericks, a dangerous surfing location frequented by some of the world’s best big wave surfers. The bay’s namesake city is home to the annual Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival, one of the oldest and largest local festivals in California.
