Montara State Beach
Enjoy both a pristine beach and an undisturbed coastal mountain habitat near Half Moon Bay.
Between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay, Montara State Beach offers both beach and mountain. Stretching for nearly a mile, and bookended by low hills to the north and south, Montara has some of the cleanest sand and waters in the region. Surfing, windsurfing, surf fishing, tide pooling, and sunbathing are all popular here. Further inland, the 690-acre McNee Ranch on Montara Mountain offers hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, unique plant life, and sweeping vistas, particularly from the summit. There’s no camping here, but options can be found nearby at Half Moon Bay State Beach and Butano State Park.

When to Go
The park is open daily from 8am to sunset. The beach is more popular over the summer, and on weekends. Visit in the spring for wildflowers along the cliffs above the beach. Fall is a good time to see migrating birds, especially hawks. From November to April, look for migrating gray whales in the ocean.
