Local Dog Notes
Half Moon Bay is a beach town with working harbor roots and a lively Main Street. Dogs do well here with a bit of planning around beach rules. The paved Coastside Trail threads north–south with ocean views and on‑leash walking for miles; it’s ideal for seniors and stroller days. Poplar Beach is a popular, dog‑friendly stretch (leash required) with easy parking but heavy weekend use — go early to avoid the crowds. Harbor cafés and fish shacks often keep water bowls by the door, and patios are common. Inland, shady neighborhood loops and small pocket parks give you quick relief on windy afternoons. Seasonal events bring traffic; aim for weekday mornings in fall. Tide pools tempt curious noses; keep a close eye near bluffs and always pack a towel for sandy paws on the ride home.
