Moss Beach is located on the coastside of San Mateo County, about 10 minutes away from Half Moon Bay. Moss Beach is home to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, a marine sanctuary, which hosts a living community of marine life that is of great interest to visitor and naturalist alike.
In addition, Moss Beach is also home to, unique Bed & Breakfasts, the Half Moon Bay Airport and the historic (and haunted) Moss Beach Distillery. Moss Beach has a cool coastal microclimate that gives one a sense of separation from the busy metropolitan San Francisco Bay Area.
