Things To Do
Things to Do + What to Expect in May:
Half Moon Bay holds a special place for us. It’s where Torri saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time, where we spent our days hiking, enjoying the mountain views, and where good wine somehow tasted even better at the end of it all. It’s a place meant for slowing down, wandering, and soaking it all in between wedding celebrations.
Top things to try:
• Walk the coastal trail or spend time at the beach
• Explore downtown shops, art, cafes, and local restaurants
• Visit Pillar Point Harbor and watch the boats
• Take in the coastal and mountain scenery on a hike
Weather in May:
May is mild and comfortable, with daytime temperatures usually in the low 60s and cooler evenings. Mornings can be foggy, with clearer skies later in the day. Layers are your friend, especially near the water.
