Autumn is a fine time to visit Half Moon Bay on the San Mateo coast of California. The weather can vary from foggy to sunny, but the temperature is usually in the 60s or 70s, which is perfect hiking weather.

The Coastal Trail

The 11.5-mile coastal trail officially runs from the north at the Dardanelle Trail at Cypress Avenue in Moss Beach, to the south at the Cowell Ranch trail south of Miramontes Point Road in Half Moon Bay.

Most of the trail is paved and open to hikers, bikers, and strollers. You might even see some horseback riders alongside parts of the trail. It is popular with locals and visitors alike.
