Heads up, tidepool fans! We’ve got afternoon minus tides all week long — a rare chance to peek into the marine world that’s usually hidden beneath the waves. But remember: always check tide charts before heading out and keep a safe distance from breaking waves.

Seal Cove serves up drama in all the best ways—towering cliffs, rugged coastline, and the endless rhythm of the Pacific. Just steps from the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, this quiet stretch offers a dose of solitude that’s easy to get lost in.

This is Pescedaro, a hidden gem just off highway one between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz. Not much happens there which is what makes it so charming. It’s too quiet for me as an SF Peninsula native and resident but I love living nearby. Not gonna tell you about my favorite nearby secret beach.

Ever noticed this sight on the cliffs along Highway 1? That’s a World War II–era triangulation and observation bunker at Devil’s Slide—part of a seaside defense network used to track potential naval threats. A quiet slice of history that rewards keen eyes on your coastal drive.

Brown pelicans are a regular sight along the Half Moon Bay coastline—gliding in formation just above the waves or swooping down with precision to scoop up fish. These coastal birds may look a little prehistoric, but they’re masters of the ocean breeze.
