A tranquil lake to take a break.
A tranquil lake to take a break.
I drove from San Jose through Half Moon Bay, the drive was the best and there're many vista points to enjoy the view. I also spotted couple of dolphins.
This place is awesome for a single or couple to hang out , private own property , no dog allowed and I don't recommend any children neither , yes its spectacular to watch the sunset especially before or after rain, enjoy !
This is a beautiful place I always come back here a few times a year especially around this time to watch the burning sky during sunset
