Comments:
The Pelican Point RV Park, in Half Moon Bay, California, is within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean and is located 30 miles south of San Francisco on California Highway 1, about 50 miles north of Santa Cruz. The park, originally constructed in the 1970s, is clean and well maintained, but not for everybody. For adults looking for a quiet place to spend a week-end or short vacation, it provides a great place to stay. Like many coastal locations the weather is usually over-cast and comfortably cool, with clear cloudless sunny days a rare event. August through November will provide the sunniest days. The park itself is also located next to two golf courses, and the area has many paved paths that provide nice bike riding or hiking opportunities. The nearby town of Half Moon Bay offers some good restaurants, and some nice little shops along Main Street, although the park is about three miles south of town and transportation can be a problem. There is a public transportation (Route 17) which stops a short half-mile walk from the park. (Use the path that starts at the south-eastern corner of the park; it’s flat, just turn left at the second bridge and walk to the office of the neighboring Canada Cove Mobile Park where the bus stops.) Pelican Point does offer cable TV and phone hook-up, but unfortunately no wireless internet access is available.
But for families with kids, be warned, there are no playgrounds, swimming pool, or other activities for kids except horseshoes. The near-by public access ocean cove is small, and unfortunately has a strong under-tow that would make swimming dangerous. There is no movie theater in Half Moon Bay.
During our stay the staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities included two showers for the men and three for the women. They were clean and quite adequate. The sites were all back-in with full hookup. They had small picnic tables, but no fire pits. The only problem we faced was the site disposal dump tube was smaller than the standard size, and we had to borrow an adapter from the office ($10 deposit).
