Tips from locals
Drive down the coast through the new Tom Lantos tunnel on your way to Half Moon Bay or Princeton Harbour.
Gorgeous beach! Although it’s a climb down to the water. AllTrails is a great app for local trails.
If you're into hiking, find Grey Whale on All Trails and do a loop. It's beautiful any time of year.
Getting to the gorgeous sandy beach below requires going down 150 steep steps – but it'll be worth the effort as you'll have the picturesque place to yourself. Hikers can combine a day at the beach with a lap around the Gray Whale Cove Trail. Trek to the peak of Montara Mountain for the best views.
