“The dramatic cliffs of Half Moon Bay serve as the stage for this Ritz-Carlton, where ocean vistas are a constant, breathtaking companion, whether from a room or while strolling the coastal paths. The grounds themselves invite exploration, from the impeccably maintained golf courses to the simple pleasure of discovering tidal pools at the beach below. It feels like a place where the grandeur of the Pacific is truly a daily highlight.”
