Half Moon Bay's Visitors

Steady Rise in Tourism

1 million visitors recorded in the past month

The small coastal town of Half Moon Bay has seen a surge in tourism over the last few years, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. In the past month alone, the town welcomed over 1 million visitors, a 10% increase over the same period last year.

Several factors are contributing to the increase in tourism. The town's beautiful beaches, charming downtown area, and world-class surfing have long been attractions, but new developments like the opening of a luxury resort and spa and the launch of a new whale-watching tour have helped to put Half Moon Bay on the map as a top destination.

The town's businesses are happy to accommodate the upswing in visitors. New shops and restaurants are opening to meet the demand, and existing businesses are expanding their hours and services. The town is also investing in infrastructure to improve the visitor experience, such as new parking areas and bike paths.

The increase in tourism is a boon to the Half Moon Bay economy. Visitors spend money on accommodations, food, and activities, which helps to support local businesses. The town also collects revenue from tourism taxes, which can be used to fund public services. Overall, the increase in tourism has been a positive development for Half Moon Bay.
