Why Main Street is Set Back from the Shoreline
Main Street sits slightly inland from the coastline — a thoughtful decision rooted in both history and practicality. Building just off the shore helped protect structures from the strong coastal winds, salt air, and seasonal flooding that could affect lower elevations. This planning fostered a vibrant, walkable downtown with a sheltered, temperate climate, all while remaining just a short stroll from the beach.
Today, visitors to Half Moon Bay enjoy the best of both worlds: a lively and charming downtown atmosphere combined with easy access to the scenic coastline — without the harsher elements of being directly on the water.
