Pillar Point Bluff 2.27.25

Another great day of exploring the Pacific Coast – this time just north of Half Moon Bay on a cliff above the ocean called Pillar Point Bluff. We are once again dog sitting for our son’s Belgian Malinois “Wylie” and finding dog friendly hikes in the area. This bluff sits above Maverick Beach which is a popular surfing site.

While there is access via a narrow path to the beach from the bluff, the beach itself is off limits to dogs – even on a leash. It is a protected marine wildlife area as evidenced by the elephant seals we witnessed while walking along the top of the cliff.

It was a warm day – mid-seventies – and I was delighted to see some flowers blooming!

We completed the day with a stop at Barbara’s Fishtrap in the small seaside hamlet of Princeton for a taste of some local fish and chips. Delicious!!
