In Half Moon Bay Everything's Coming Up Pumpkins
Every year, a quarter-million visitors make the trek to the "Pumpkin Capital of the World" for the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, October 14-15, 2006. Activities range from Volkswagen-sized pumpkins, the "Picasso of pumpkin carvers," harvest-inspired crafts, the tastiest pumpkin pie on the planet, a charming home-spun parade, events and contests for the whole family, to the never-ending search for the Great Pumpkin, and a bumper crop of 3,000+ tons of the beloved orange orb at the many rustic pumpkin patches around town…this is the harvest celebration of the year. Guest rooms sell out quickly during the festival but plan to visit anytime throughout the entire month of October to view and celebrate the locally grown pumpkins and sample local restaurant specials.

Autumn Holidays Bring Harvest Treats To Hermosa Beach
Throughout the autumn season guests of the Beach House Hotel Hermosa Beach are delighted by the refreshing scent of the Pacific Ocean, the cozy feel of plush down comforters and overstuffed sofas, and this fall, tastes of the season with specially made pumpkin muffin treats and hazelnut coffees in the complimentary Continental breakfast served daily. Think grandmother's Thanksgiving pie and Halloween – all wrapped into a tasty morning muffin, served from mid-September through late-November.

Girls Holiday Shopping Getaway Set To Old Time Charm
– Convenient To Northern & Southern California
Forty minutes south of San Francisco, the cobblestoned Main Street of Half Moon Bay recalls a charming small town era gone by with boutiques, unique specialty stores and cafes that all echo an atmosphere of relaxed graciousness.
