a beautiful sunrise at Half Moon Bay

Another day, another beautiful sunrise... This is the sight right outside the sliding doors of our room at Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay. With the Pacific Ocean to the right and the coastal mountains to the left, this is as beautiful a panorama as you could hope for. Straight ahead is the fairway and green of the 18th hole at the Half Moon Bay Golf Links, a beautiful Scottish links style course along the sea. In fact, Ritz-Carlton has two 18-hole championship courses to challenge avid golfers.

We've been here less than 24 hours, but I totally love this resort. Today we're planning to enjoy the resort's Signature Redwoods Drive. This includes a visit to the town of Half Moon Bay and a scenic drive past pumpkin farms, wineries, redwood forests, and windswept beaches. I'll blog about the experience tomorrow.

Just 23 miles south of San Francisco and a half hour drive from SFO, Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay is a great destination for weekend getaways ... and an ideal setting for a company retreat. Of course, by booking through your Virtuoso travel advisor, you'll get free daily breakfast for two, a $100 spa credit, complimentary internet, and an upgraded room if available, all for the regular price you see online.
