Title: Great Trips from Placerville - Half Moon Bay
Author: Mark Eting
Article:
Looking to escape the heat of the California Central Valley and
Placerville this summer? While many go to the Sierra mountains
and enjoy Tahoe, you might also consider the coastline. That's
what I love about Placerville, you can do both!
Nature and industry work together to form an attractive area for
vacationers to enjoy and an ideal location for making a living.
In other words, Half Moon Bay, California is a coastal town with
residences and businesses both on the shoreline and inland and
with farming, produce, supplies, and services both "natural" but
advanced.
The coast of Half Moon Bay, California is a surfers' Valhalla:
for instance, the Mavericks surf competition saw hundreds of
fans and viewers taking the day off and hanging on the beaches
to witness Grant Twiggy Baker of South Africa take first, and
Tyler Smith and Brock Little take second and third,
respectively, on waves surprisingly sufficient considering the
weather--which was nearing hot--and the area--which is
relatively calm in ocean action.
The weather in general in Half Moon Bay, California is some of
the most appealing in the nation. Temperate for the most part,
with cooling coastal fog in the morning which usually burns off
by the afternoon. Fall on the coast is absolutely brilliant and
only the Winter months can be a bit stormy. But the farmers on
their ranches and the growers, of pumpkins, brussel sprouts, and
other staple veggies, have back-up generators and three other
"seasons" without snow or sleet or ice to threaten crops or
livelihoods. Small businesses thrive, from art shops to flower
bodegas like Aloha, a shop specializing in orchids--live
orchids, glass orchids, and orchid portraits; and large,
recognized companies serve the population by way of Safeway,
Albertson's, Longs, and banks and gas stations that are
accessible but not overbearing in number of prices. The pumpkin
festival is simply amazing. Fields for miles are bright orange
with pumpkins ready for harvesting.
Some of the finest cuisine can be found on the shoreline and a
few blocks inland--from fresh seafood to Italian to Asian, and
visitors and locals alike can walk down to the pier, to the
signed up fishermen on their boats, and buy live crab and/or
lobster, which can be brought back to the house and cooked up in
lieu of sitting in at the restaurants...which are ambient and
amiable and lovely (and reasonable in price, as well).
Numerous hotels, motels, inns, and bed and breakfast sites offer
comforts from cozy to chic, and such places as the Farallon Inn
(on highway 1 in Moss Beach, five miles north of Half Moon Bay)
even come with a small but superbly satisfying fare of Indian
food and pizza, which the Faralon's owners cook in and run. The
place is so good that locals and tourists alike sign the walls
with sharpies, thanking the owners and gushing over the food,
which is absolutely perfect--authentic to the Indian owners and
surprisingly top notch as "Italian" fare, too.
Golf is absolutely fabulous at the half-moon bay courses and
resorts. The finishing holes from the cliffs above the ocean are
breathtaking.
The weather is perfect, really. The beaches are many and easy to
get to. And the people are direct, friendly, and helpful. There
is, of course, a public library, a sanitation department, and
fairly easy-going but still by-the-book fire and police
departments, as well as a chamber of commerce. With these and
with the online tour information sites, you will be happy you
decide to travel to, stay for a visit in Half Moon Bay,
California.
