Bordering on a bay of the same name, Half Moon Bay's major local industries include agriculture (houseplants, floriculture, Christmas trees, pumpkins, artichokes), fishing, and tourism.
A popular spot at Half Moon Bay is the 'Jetty,' or as it is sometimes called, 'The Breakwater.' This is a man-made break with unusual waves shaped by reflections from the breakwater at Pillar Point harbor.
The town is served by Half Moon Bay Airport. The local newspaper is the Half Moon Bay Review
