Love PPH for lunch, dinner, walking the dog and kiddos. Such a special place....magical really. If you love seafood and surfing this is the PERFECT place to stop coastside. Start at Jeff Clark's Maverick's surf shop. Always find a ton of gifts and personal beachy, surf related items there. Super cool spot, thoughtfully curated. Then have lunch at Ketch & Joanne's, eat outside then get an ice cream and walk around the pier. Princeton Landing Seafood is the final stop when yiu want to take the freshest right off the boat seafood home. Can't go wrong cruising around PPH. Just go. Anytime of year.

Regardless if weather, I love Princeton. It s an easy access adventure for the whole family, dogs too. Great place to catch a sunset or enjoy a break from the inland heat. Walk on a beach, rent a kayak, great restaurant options, or buy something fresh off the dock to take home. One of the last places I know of where you can hear a fog horn.

Great atmosphere, working fishing port. Local fishermen sell their daily catch from docked boats - can't get much fresher than that. Seals are regular visitors as well. Barbara's Fish Trap, further down the road, serves a very tasty clam chowder. Highly recommended.

Pillar Point Harbor is an excellent place to visit while in the vicinity of Half Moon Bay, CA! There's a broad selection of restaurants to pick from. All of the places I've eaten at have an extensive seafood menu and the food is consistently wonderfully tasty! The harbor also has a very large fishing pier that's open to the public! This is a must visit location for tourists and locals alike!

I like watching the boats here and seeing what's going on. However it's gotten crowded on weekends. Buy fish from the boats and take them over to the fish market side entrance and pay a few dollars to have them cleaned and filleted. I'm glad this place exists.

A great harbour experience!!! Fresh catches of the day can be purchased from the local fisherman, a great pier to wander and check out the boats. For boaters the docks are a little run down, and there are some pretty rough boats, but it has its charm. The anchorage is amazing and best of all free, once you get used to the fog horn.

CLEAN SAFE ENVIRONMENT. I LOVE to come here with my family to go crabbing off the Pier and eat fresh fish n chips at the beach. The reason I call it clean and safe is because there's always someone from fish and game patrolling and cleaning up. I appreciate how kind and helpful they are. Really beautiful place to be.
