Montara and Half Moon Bay has enough historic sites, imaginative food, art galleries, bookstores, and craft shops to fill several days. There's also horseback riding on the beach and a world-class golf course. Flowers are multi-hued and multi-blossomed and provide fragrant pleasure year 'round in many nurseries and garden shops as well as in the monthly Flower Markets held in downtown Half Moon Bay through the Spring and Summer.

California's 2nd largest fishing fleet weighs anchor at Pillar Point, where sportfishermen can surf cast or join other boat trips. Walking trails begin here and continue through Half Moon Bay. Bring binoculars for sighting ducks, shorebirds, seals, and the occasional sea otter.
