Half Moon Bay State Beach

On-leash pets are permitted to accompany you on tours of this Half Moon Bay farm and market.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an underused railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Half Moon Bay!

Bring your dog to this fenced, volunteer-run Half Moon Bay dog park to have some off-leash fun. A $20 annual charge is suggested but not required.

It's a fenced-in area with a sea wall where dogs and children may swim and play. On weekends, the parking lot fills up quickly.

The dog-friendly Montara State Beach is a popular location. Pets are welcome on this beach as long as they are kept on a leash that is less than six feet long. This is a popular spot for people who wish to explore tide pools and try their hand at surf fishing. While you're there, visit Montara Mountain, which contains the only intact coastal mountain environment for 100 miles along the coast. Montara State Beach is open from 8 a.m. to sunset every day of the week.

Arata Pumpkin Farm welcomes pets. Pumpkins of various sizes and hundreds of types may be found at this must-see location for all your pumpkin needs. In our world-famous two-acre Minotaur's Labyrinth hay maze, you can test your mental and physical abilities. Enjoy the sights and sounds of their six-acre cornfield and Pumpkin River. In the eerie barn, prepare for thrills and chills. On a leash, well-behaved dogs are welcome on the farm. They are open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. every day of the week.
