A bluff-top luxury resort south of Half Moon Bay, with two oceanfront golf courses, a long cliff-edge walking path, and the protected Manhattan Beach cove tucked below.
A bluff-top luxury resort south of Half Moon Bay, with two oceanfront golf courses, a long cliff-edge walking path, and the protected Manhattan Beach cove tucked below. Indoor and outdoor ceremony options; the private feel and on-site service are often the reason couples pick it. For sessions, the setting works best when there's a clear plan: which light, which path in, what the weather is doing. Chris's note on this location is in the field below — every destination here gets a real, photographer-tested read rather than a glossy travel description.

Getting here
A few things about Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay
Parking is on-property and close to the photo locations.
West-facing — chase the golden hour through blue hour, especially clear winter evenings.
Exposed — wind picks up in the afternoon. Bring layers + a hair-tie if it's a coast cliff.
