El Granada Travel Guide

Half Moon Bay

So I tend to see a lot of sunsets as you might find out... my favorite part is seeing how the textures and colors evolve and shift in the sky as the light perspective changes. I loved watching the Sand Pipers dance with the waves as they came in. That's Half Moon Bay in the distance and the world famous surf spot, Mavericks, just to the left of the headland.
NO EDITING: cold and cloudy day at Mavericks. #JayMoriarty got famous here.... #California

This place is actually pretty lame but the large crowds, and naval base in the hills make for an interesting silhouette.
Interesting spot to enjoy your seafood dish with a good view of HalfMoon Bay . This is Seafood Paella ordered at Sam’s Chowder House  #troverfoodies

Hotel is a bit dated but in general very clean. We did have a few stain/spots in our room but we did not mind it too much. Some staff are friendly but some seem like they did not want to be there. Overall a great hotel for this price point with free parking and breakfast.
