Take me Away….to Half Moon Bay
We’ve hit the mid-way point between 4th of July & Labor Day weekend & unless you’ve got an extended vacay planned for August, you’re probably like us…itching to get outta town for a few days!
Half Moon Bay is a vibrant coastal town located ~40 minutes south of San Francisco, the perfect place for a weekend away with your pup. A temperate climate, wide-range of outdoor activities, and proximity to Northern California’s picturesque coast give way to adventures aplenty. After a long day of exploring, dogs & their owners can retire to one of Half Moon Bay’s many pup-friendly inns + hotels featuring doggie beds, treats, goodie bags and more. A few snob-worthy spots to stay + eat:
The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay…Haute hounds & their owners will feel right at home at this luxurious, seaside resort & spa situated on dramatic bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Reminiscent of the seaside lodges of the early 19th century, the hotel features 261 luxurious guestrooms, a bluffside Jacuzzi and fireplace, world-class dining, two championship golf courses, tennis courts, coastal walking trails and accommodations for dogs 30 pounds and under. Guests can relax with their pets in the guesthouse, gazebo, front drive and stunning outdoor area surrounding the hotel. The hotel provides guests with a designated pet walk map for their convenience.
Seal Cove Inn…This serene hideaway set amongst a meadow of wildflowers & bordered by cypress trees is the perfect place for guests traveling with their pooches. The property boasts stylish rooms with luxurious fine linens, fireplaces, sitting areas with desks, private patios or decks and some with whirlpool baths. A gourmet breakfast buffet and wine and appetizers are complimentary for all guests.
Half Moon Bay Brewing Company…Boasting the first dog-friendly patio on the Half Moon Bay coastline, this renowned oceanfront brewery serves up delicious coastal cuisine designed to complement a wide selection of beers handcrafted on site.
