半月湾

半月湾位于 旧金山半岛，向南45分钟 旧金山 on Highway One, but it might as well be half a world away. Home to the world-famous monster waves at Mavericks, 半月湾 is a sleepy beach town with a strong connection to the ocean—a perfect place for a walk along the beach or dinner at a local seafood spot.

半月湾必做之事

You’ll definitely want to spend as much time as possible by the Pacific, 和 several miles of the border-to-border 加州海岸小径 穿过半月湾. One particularly nice section begins at Poplar Beach 和 travels down the coast above the waves. 就在小镇北边的莫斯海滩 菲茨杰拉德海洋保护区 is a great place to see harbor seals 和 explore tide pools—look for purple sea urchins 和 sea stars in the craggy rocks.

As for Mavericks—the breaks that 半月湾 is known for the world over—only the most skilled surfers should consider tackling the challenging waves that can reach heights of 50 feet or more. But you can get a taste of the local surf scene (和 pick up cool hoodies to impress your inl和 pals) at Mavericks冲浪公司, owned by Jeff Clark, a big-wave legend. For something a little more sedate, the company’s 小牛PaddleSports offers st和-up paddleboard rentals 和 lessons on the flat waters of Pillar Point Harbor. 

If you prefer to keep your feet on dry l和 和 have kids in your posse, 参观农场主题游乐园 Lemos农场 适合家庭的乐趣. Pony rides, hay rides, train rides, 和 a petting zoo are all on the activity list here, along with 山羊瑜伽, for those into pursuing wellness with furry friends. 虽然全年开放, 10月 is a particularly good time to visit, with celebrations that feature live music, 万圣节庆祝活动, 还有很多很多的南瓜. As hard as it is to compete with cuddly goats when it comes to Instagram-worthiness, another agritourism activity nearby does just that. Get lost in a sea of vivid amber at the Andreotti家庭农场’s U-Pick Sunflower Field 和 Pumpkin Patch, which welcomes visitors during the months of 9月 和 10月. 建议大家做 预订 提前上网.
