Travel & Stay
Half Moon Bay sits about 45 minutes south of San Francisco along Highway 1, one of the prettiest drives on the planet. Plan on cool, foggy mornings and warm afternoons.
Fly in
SFO: San Francisco International, 35 minutes north. Easiest option for most.
SJC: San Jose, about 50 minutes east. Often cheaper, scenic drive over the hills.
Getting around
A rental car makes the weekend easier. Uber/Lyft are spotty on the coast. There are a couple of options nearby to Mavericks House on Saturday night. For the wedding day, there are accommodations nearby that are walking distance to the venue.

While you're here
Hike the coast
Choose a trail with ocean views. We love Mori Point, Fort Funston, and Lands End.
Walk the Golden Gate Bridge
A classic California experience. Best on a clear morning.
Catch a sunset
Ocean Beach and any spot down the coast put on a show at golden hour.
Mission District burrito
Grab a burrito from El Farolito. A San Francisco must. Go sit at Dolores park and say hi to the coconut guy ;)
Dim sum in Chinatown
Take your time and share a spread of dumplings, buns, and tea.
Napa wine country
Spend a day tasting wine and touring beautiful vineyards.
Tomales Bay or Point Reyes
Head up the coast for oysters, fresh air, and dramatic shoreline.
Half Moon Bay seafood
Fresh crab, lobster rolls, clam chowder, and sourdough. Do not miss the chowder.
