Aristocrat Hotel, BW Signature Collection
Half Moon Bay curves along the coast south of San Francisco, a seaside town of bluffs, beaches, pumpkin farms, and a harbor below the big wave breaks at Pillar Point. The Aristocrat Hotel, BW Signature Collection, sits on the Cabrillo Highway in Half Moon Bay, California, close to the state beaches, the harbor, the downtown shops, and the coastal trail. Down Highway 1 from the hotel, Half Moon Bay State Beach unrolls four miles of sand across Francis, Venice, Dunes, and Roosevelt beaches, with a paved bluff-top Coastside Trail running north to the big-wave surf break at Pillar Point and a campground tucked behind the dunes. Back at the hotel, coastal and British design sets the tone, with rooms that hold a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi and a free breakfast on hand. Surf and sand, the harbor and pumpkin farms, and the coast road all sit close by. Settle in and let the Pacific set the pace.
