Featured Fly-in Destination Half Moon Bay (KHAF) by Fly in California

Half Moon Bay is a popular fly-in destination from the Bay Area, and for good reason! The airport is close to the marina and beach at Princeton by the Sea. It’s a fairly short flight over the mountains, with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and coast, and your lunch or dinner there can be combined with a Bay Tour for a perfect sight-seeing day with friends! This is a favorite fly-in lunch place for many pilots, because it has such a great collection of eateries within walking distance of the tie-downs. No car needed! It’s also a wonderful place to take a walk along the beach and breathe the sea air! Don’t forget to bring your camera! Do watch out for the coastal fog, and check the weather before you go!

The Airport Half Moon Bay airport is actually a few miles north of the town of Half Moon Bay, but is right next to the smaller town of Princeton by the Sea. Flying north along the coast you will first come to Half Moon Bay - the bay, not the town. It looks like a smaller version of Monterey Bay, with the same great sandy beach, but not the buildup of houses. What’s There? Princeton is a great little place, with many great restaurants, a marina, a working harbor with fishing boats and some great deals on really fresh fish. It also has a nice beach, and you can even watch the surfers take on the famous Mavericks. Plan your flight, and visit today: www.flyincalifornia.com/flyin/KHAF.php and www.visithalfmoonbay.org
