On a coastal bluff south of San Francisco, The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay faces the Pacific beside two golf courses. Rooms and suites draw on the restrained character of a seaside residence, with fireplaces, terraces and direct ocean views limited to selected categories. Navio serves seafood and seasonal tasting menus, The Conservatory provides California dishes throughout the day, and The Ocean Terrace offers outdoor drinks beside the cliff lawn. Treatment rooms, saunas, steam rooms and an indoor pool form the spa, with tennis courts and a fitness centre elsewhere. Walking paths follow the bluff above the beach, while central Half Moon Bay is a short drive north of the resort.
