What People Are Saying About Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay State Beach

avatar
泰迪小熊
Came on September 25, 2017. There are many public beaches along Highway 1, and the Half Moon Bay area is probably the best. It is a long beach stretching 7 or 8 kilometers; the sand is flat and the sand is small, so the sand surface is wide and flat. Add to that the beautiful arc of Half Moon Bay, the whole beach is very popular. The only fly in the ointment is that there are few amusement facilities here, and there are naturally not many tourists. So, it is more suitable for strolling, daze and sunbathing, and the scenery is not bad.

Filoli Historic House & Garden

lovely trevel
Filoli Historic House & Garden is a beautiful space that seems to have preserved the time from 100 years ago. Colorful flowers, antique furniture, and colorful flowers that allow you to feel the change of seasons from the entrance catch your eye. When you enter the house, you will see furniture from 100 years ago, creating the illusion of time travel.

Stanford University

Come on September 25, 2017. As the top five universities in the United States, Stanford University must be a must-visit destination for California tourism! As a tourist attraction, Stanford University is worth visiting. The whole school is very large, the architecture of different periods is quite characteristic of the times, the scenery on the campus is also beautiful, especially under the sunny weather, it is more pleasing to the eye. Go to the Stanford Memorial Church to see the carefully designed Romanesque architecture and Byzantine style decoration, remember the kindness of the Stanford family and educate people; stroll the large lawn with flowers and feel the sunshine of California... Stanford University is a very outstanding humanistic landscape. Another impressive impression of Stanford is the spiritual outlook of students at school. The day I went was Monday afternoon, just in time for the recess, and witnessed the students coming out of the classroom, riding a bicycle and rushing to the next class of the classroom... The seriousness of the students is intuitive and real.

Golden Gate Park

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Lombard Street

泰迪小熊
Came on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and definitely one of the must-see attractions to visit San Francisco. Jiuqu Flower Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section is a steep slope, but it is designed to be eight hairpin bends, and the road is full of flowers. If you need to shoot the effect of Jiuqu, you must stand at the low position of Leavenworth Street. Chinese people can drive by themselves in the western United States where San Francisco is located. If you will drive in San Francisco, you may wish to experience the feeling of driving through Jiuquhua Street.

Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Island is a small island located in San Francisco Bay, about 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) offshore from San Francisco, California. It is most famous for the federal penitentiary that operated there from 1934 to 1963.

Venice Beach

[Scenery] Venice Beach in Half Moon Bay has endless beauty. It is very suitable for a visit. It is mainly natural scenery. You can also find a bar to bask in the sun, listen to music and relax. Overall, it is highly recommended!
