Francis Beach, Half Moon Bay, California

Francis State Beach
This is one of our favorite Half Moon Bay destinations. The beach and the scenic walking path are spectacular.

Francis State Beach is located just South of the intersection of Highway 92 and Hwy 1 in Half Moon Bay. Look for signs to Kelly Ave and Francis Beach (see address and map below).

Beach Tips
Check Half Moon Bay weather before you leave for the day. The fog can be very cold. Bring layers and leave them in the car if you don't need them. Thick fog can roll in very fast, at any time.

Get to the beach early, especially on weekends. The parking lot fills up fast, particularly on warm, sunny days.
