We have close friends who live in San Jose so
one of the things we are often looking for is fun places easy driving
distances from both San Francisco and San Jose and one of our recent
favorites is the state beach at Half Moon Bay. The
beach is never crowded, the sand is great for building castles and our
kids love playing in the waves. Be warned they are stronger than they
look and we all got at least the bottom halves of our pants wet when a
stronger than expected wave hit!
The last time we went we spent a few hours on
the beach and then headed up the hill to enjoy some BBQ at the tables
overlooking the ocean with a great view of the surfers. Be warned that
the seagulls are fierce and are determined to get
your food at any cost. We had the toddlers running circles around our
table and that still was not enough commotion to keep them at bay!It costs $10 per car to get in for the day but with lots of picnic tables, bathrooms (and showers if you brave the water) and BBQ facilities it is great value for a super fun day. They also have camping, we’ve never stayed overnight but should try one day!
