Featuring both a wide expanse of soft sand as well as a three-tiered bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this beach site is a little oasis right off California State Route 1. What’s more, it’s only a quick, 15-minute drive south of Half Moon Bay!
The tan-colored, sandy beach offers a vast expanse, and with a short walk, plenty of intimacy for a private ceremony of up to 10 guests. And although it has a somewhat steep incline, the 3 different bluff locations offer an incredible view of the water for up to 30 guests.
Full disclosure: this beach is technically "clothing optional," however, we've never seen any nude sunbathers when we've been there.
