Hi bourret58 We drove to the very end of the beach and parked in a small parking lot down a track from the main road. There were no facilities there but at least it was free. I also understand you can park along the roadside in places and walk across the brush and down to the beach. Just sorry I can't be more specific about where. Hope you have fun at HMB! :)

I stayed at the Half Moon Bay campground about a mile south of the center of town. At that point the sandy beach is about a hundred feet below a bluff. Going north there is a trail along the bluff for a half mile or so. Then you are at the level of the sand beach. I have not gone north of the beach area just south of town., so I don't know exactly how it unfolds going north of there. I have driven along that area going to the harbor north of town, but I didn't take notice of the situation along the water. That could be where the pebbly beach is. I suggest Googling the visitors bureau of Half Moon Bay and see if they can help you.
