Half Moon Bay State Beach is gorgeous. This natural landscape is wonderful and the paths around make a great reason to go back again and again. Full review by 19familytime
No free parking near the beach.But plenty of free road side parking available -depending on time of day. Daytime lot of parking available on roadside along the houses.
How do I direct someone to the little beach with all the pebbles instead of sand. It is close to half-moon bay. We have moved away, and I don't remember how to tell them to find it or if it has a specific name

I stayed at the Half Moon Bay campground about a mile south of the center of town. At that point the sandy beach is about a hundred feet below a bluff. Going north there is a trail along the bluff for a half mile or so. Then you are at the level of the sand beach. I have not gone north of the beach area just south of town., so I don't know exactly how it unfolds going north of there. I have driven along that area going to the harbor north of town, but I didn't take notice of the situation along the water. That could be where the pebbly beach is. I suggest Googling the visitors bureau of Half Moon Bay and see if they can help you.
