Hotel restaurants are not always perfect, but this one is! We had breakfast and dinner here and everything was done perfectly. I highly recommend.
This is one of the nicest beaches in California. There is an amazing view of the waves, a nice beach to walk on and a sheltered side to kayak or swim. This is a great place to take some amazing pictures.
I lived in Half Moon Bay before Jeff Clark and the Mavericks were famous. I'm always in awe of how big and beautiful the waves are. Just a great place to be!
The town has a lot going for it, good location, nice weather, interesting downtown, good walks, beaches and decent restaurants. What more could you ask for. Really good choice rather than stay in one of the big cities. Glad we came.
I have lived in the Bay Area for over 15 years and I just visited Mavericks for the first time today. I always thought it was a long walk out to the beach. It isn't. Parking is a challenge but even if you walk on the road it doesn't take long to get to the beach. It's a great place to take your dogs. There were a lot of dogs frolicking in the water when I was there. One thing to keep in mind is that there are occasional sneaker waves. When I was there my dog got pulled out into the surf by one. During one of the Mavericks surf competitions, a sneaker wave crashed into a bunch of onlookers and reporters.
Loved the stories of the biggest wave in the world! The local restaurants are awesome! If you like local beers and seafood you will be very happy!
When we were there, the surf wasn't that huge... but I know they get very large. Not for anyone who can't swim VERY well!!
I can't believe people surf here. The water is cold, it's rocky, the waves are MONSTROUS! I have nothing but respect for those surfers who do. Coming here was like standing on sacred ground. I loved it.
I guess we were expecting huge waves as seen on tv but on the day we went there were waves like on any other beach. The walk from the parking lot was pleasant though and we saw several seals close by. The end of the beach is wild and impressive too, with the cliff falling abruptly into the sea.
Got a few t shirts and sweatshirt. Good price and sweatshirt is really cozy. Right by the docks so we took a walk there also
