This is a full blown harbor with fishing boats and yachts. Located in beautiful half moon bay. There is an awesome trail to walk along the waterfront. If you're in the area also check out the half moon brewery which has great micro brews. Parking is pay. Dogs are allowed on leash only.

Absolutely love going here.. stop for a bite at ketch of Joannes or Barbs then off to the Mavericks.. Ketch of Joanne's is dog friendly if you eat out side . Clean restrooms by the pier and at the pier you can buy fresh fish right off the boat .

Come on down on a nice day and tour the fisherman's pier, see the crab boats and yachts in the harbor. Plenty of wildlife as this is all part of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary: sea lions, seals, littoral creatures and birds, etc. Frequent whale sightings! Several places to eat nearby, plus Maverick's Surf Shop and HMB kayak rental. If you're bringing your boat, call the harbormaster for slip availability - easy marina to access, just watch the shoals before the breakwater. Marine fuel and pumpout (remember this is a marine sanctuary!) available. Markets within walking distance; check out the new Spangler's.

I must say I was very disappointed tonight. My family and i have had a long standing tradition of night fishing in this harbor for more than 30 years. Our mom recently passed away and we went out there to honor her memory as she used to camp out there and it was her favorite place. The harbor master was always cool about us fishing and hanging out on the pier all night. Well tonight there was a rookie harbor master who actually came out and told us we have to pack up and leave. It wasn't even 10 at night. If memory serves me right, it is a public pier and does not close. Pillar Point is a very special place in our hearts and we were so sad to be told to cut our celebration of the life of our mom, grandma, comadre and friend. Times sure are changing......

Love going here to pick up fresh seafood to make Cioppino and 2 last weekend we went onto the docks to grab freshly caught crabs. Great working with the hardworking fishermen. Its a tough life catching crabs in such a shortened season. Support your local fishermen.

A .ice place to experience the ocean life, sea food etc. Plenty of parking. Enough space for larger rv. The place is very crowded on weekends. There seems to be rv parking long term in some of the spots in the back

Been coming here for years. All kinds of places to walk to for food. Great bike path. The docks are a good place to walk. If you bring an ice chest, you can buy fish and crab right off the boat. Brew pub and other fun stuff close by.

Very interesting and well laid out. Seems pretty organized. Would love to see a museum area for old shipping items and perhaps even some urban legends or stories old/new regarding fishing, industry or the people.

A nice harbor that has a lot of fisherman offering fresh crab and cod. Most everyone was giving an $8 per pound price on crab but if you really look or talk a good game you can get a little better price.

Beautiful place and theres a great seafood resturaunt. The pier/dock gets crowded at times. The harbor is always full with boats. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to see schools of mackerel and anchovies in the harbor.

This harbor is obviously scenic and beautiful but offers opportunities to join the people there whether you're buying the freshest fish right off the boats and chatting with the people who catch it or having a terrific meal from restaurants where the fishermen eat.

The harbor is a great place to kayak and paddle board. The beach is clean and the water is fairly calm. Fish either jetty for a variety of rockfish and surf perch, use squid, shrimp and anchovies for bait. This is one of my favorite places to kick back and relax. Aloha = )

Picked up fresh live Crab, Blue Rock Fish and Orange Rock Fish straight from the boats. Sat at the little restaurant on the corner and had some ceviche with fresh chips and clam chowder. Turned out to be such a nice day!
