Harbor View Attractions

El Granada, California is located right on the Half Moon Bay along the California coast, and is just 20 miles south of San Francisco. With all the tourist attractions in San Francisco many choose to get away from the hustle and bustle for a peaceful stay along the beautiful Half Moon Bay. That’s not to say we don’t have world famous attractions of our own!  Our beach is known for hosting the toughest surf competition in the world, the Mavericks Surf Break!  Twenty-four of the world’s best surfers are selected and wait months to compete when waves roar over 20 feet high!  Brave surfers aren’t the only ones you’ll find in the waters; sport fishing and whale watching is a must along the Northern California Coast!  Book online now!

You can also see the biggest breeding ground of northern elephant seals at the Ano Nuevo State Reserve!  If you prefer to stay dry – hike or bike on the Coastal Trail, or golf a first class park!  The Half Moon Bay Golf Links, host of the U.S.G.A. Open Mens and Womens Qualifier and rivals Pebble Beach for best looking Ocean Scenery on the greens!
