About this place
Added by Elena P
Cowell Ranch Beach is a beautiful, remote beach in Half Moon Bay.
Hike half a mile to this beautiful, secluded beach. There are high cliffs with a steep staircase down to the beach. The beach has wonderful rock formations on one side. It is a great place to watch the sunset or bring a picnic. A great place for a beach day if you are looking for something less crowded.

Nice beach
Did a hike then ended up eating lunch here. Pretty neat little spot. On the smaller side, but nice.
