Yesterday, on 5 October 2024, my parents and I went for on a trip to Half Moon Bay, CA, spending most of our time at Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay State Beach. We had a heat wave inland, plus I needed some outdoors time due to claustrophobia. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
Message from the Photographer: I have been struggling with long COVID since November 2023, and I have been dealing with chronic fatigue and many other health problems. I'm mostly house bound and frequently bedridden these days. Unfortunately, claustrophobia hits hard quite frequently. Yesterday, I had a little bit more energy than usual so I decided to go for a trip to Half Moon Bay, plus it was way too hot inland due to the heat wave. I didn't bring any camera equipment with me (I have too little energy for that), but was able to take a few photos with my phone.
The destination for this trip was Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay State Beach. We weren't the only ones with the idea to go to the beach to escape the heat wave inland. There were so many people and the beach was crowded!

Next, I was hungry, so my parents and I walked over to Taqueria Tres Amigos at the intersection of Kelly Avenue and State Route 1 for dinner. We didn't drive because we didn't want to lose our parking space. The food was delicious, and they had a number of vegetarian options available. It was sunset by the time I finished my meal, and I took a few photos on the side of State Route 1 of the town of Half Moon Bay.

We then walked back to Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay State Beach to see the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
