If the mention of Half Moon Bay conjures pumpkin patches and Christmas tree farms, it’s time to take a closer look at this charming oceanside locale. Less than a two-hour drive from Downtown Napa, Half Moon Bay does indeed provide these particular fall and winter visit motivations, but in any season, the town features all the great shops, galleries, restaurants, hotels and inns associated with a funky California beach village, yet with smaller crowds than those found at its seaside neighbors to the south.
