Half Moon Bay is a coastal city in San Mateo County, California, USA. It’s a small town with a nice long beach. Half Moon Bay hosts an annual “Art and Pumpkin Festival” on Main Street downtown. 250,000 people visit every October for the festival. There’ll be an upcoming Pumpkin festival on 13-14 Oct. Check out the website here.

“There are a lot of other things that you can do in Half Moon Bay. If you have not been to the Half Moon Bay Coastside, you have not been! They have it all: fresh air, scenic country roads, ocean panoramic views, golf courses & a driving range, deep sea fishing, horseback riding on the beach, fields of glorious flowers, vegetables, pumpkins, and Christmas trees, marvelous restaurants, superb hotels and inns, and the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

Me and a few friends drove to Half Moon Bay, hoping to catch the beautiful sunset over the horizon. The coast is very long and you’ll get a perfect view of the sun setting. There are no islands nearby so you can see the sky and the sea. On the way there, we saw pumpkins all over the ground. Oh well, Pumpkin Festival is coming soon.

Here’s a photo of the coast. I find that the picture is quite nice with the cyclist resting there.

And here’s a photo of my jumping!

The view next to the coast has a nice view for photo taking. Here’s a nice shot while we were waiting for sunset. It looks like in MTV.

As it started to get darker, the weather became colder. Unfortunately for the four of us, we wore shorts and t-shirts. We had to resort to hiding behind shrubs to block out the freezing cold breeze. Oh ya, the water is very cold too. Anyway, here’s a nice photo of the sunset. We stayed until 7.30pm before making our way back home.
