BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints

• The beaches in this area are known for fast breaks and are especially good for short boards—if the surf's on.
• Restrooms and pay parking lots are available.
• Non-surfing beach lovers can walk or bike the Coastside Trail, and there are horse stables and paths, too.

Half Moon Bay State Beach encompasses several beaches: Venice, Dunes, Roosevelt, Francis, and Cowell. These three sandy miles are popular with surfers and sunbathers.
