Coastal Walk at Pillar Point Bluff (Half Moon Bay)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust for a beautiful walk at Pillar Point Bluff just north of Half Moon Bay! You will be guided by POST ambassadors who will share details about the area’s interesting natural history, from the coastal scrub habitat to the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve which hosts tide pools and breeding grounds for harbor seals.

The walk is moderate at about 2.5 miles round trip with about 300 feet of gradual elevation gain. ***Due to a mudslide and trail closures, we will need to take a slightly steeper path for this hike. If you are worried about walking at a steeper incline, we recommend not attending this hike***

In 2004, POST stepped in to fund protection of the Bluff, restore it to ecological health, and construct a 1.6-mile section of the California Coastal Trail that now runs across it. Today all 161 acres of the Bluff are fully protected in perpetuity – a process that took four transactions, 11 years of work, and an array of visionaries, landowners, and donors, both public and private.
